Talk:Erga omnes

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know if there is an additional second term for this concept? I've searched an unabridged copy of Black's Law Dictionary eighth edition and been unable to find 'Erga Omnes', even though I've seen it referenced in legal briefs in a manner that indicates the definition here on Wikipedia is essentially accurate.

No, I know of no other term that means "erga omnes." If it's not in your dictionary, I would guess it's because Black's focuses on American law, and this is a term used in international law. Lagringa 06:32, 12 September 2006 (UTC)

The distinction in roman law, and land law is that between rights in REM (rights as against the whole world eg. property rights) and rights in PERSONUM (personal rights, eg in contracts). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.111.243.34 (talk) 14:22, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
