Or "has full international legal personality".

Traditionally, sovereign states were the only international legal persons recognized by public international law. Only legal persons can enter into formal international legal relations. However, the emergence of intergovernmental organizations over the past sixty years has considerably changed the horizontal structure of inter-state relations. The United Nations and the World Trade Organization have not only acquired legal personality but have also enacted new rules for international law governing state behavior.

a fully recognized subject of international law.
The source could be better because Völkerrechtssubjekt seems to often be an adjective and not a noun. Nevertheless, in this case I believe translating it as a noun makes sense. The organisation is a subject in the sense that in the middle ages people were the king's subjects.

could also say "fact" instead of "concept".

Steffen Walter
: An international organisation (see context) cannot be a "concept" or "fact". / Please re-read the context of this question. It refers to the United Nations being a "Völkerrechtssubjekt". Question is who needs new glasses here.

The reference is to the myopic term 'Völkerrecht', NOT some specific organization. New glasses?
