This article examines the transformation of the Order of St John (also known as the Knights of Malta) from a crusading and piratic entity (periodically in Jerusalem, Cyprus, Rhodes and Malta) into an irregular state actor without territory (in Rome). Specifically, it looks at the political rationales through which the Order has been historically constituted as an international subject and currently enacted as an “irregular state”, and evaluates the function of international legal discourse in making up for its missing territory, the supposedly ‘hard’ and ‘objective’ condition of statehood under international law.

"El autor toma partido en favor de la condición soberana de la Orden, defendiendo la especial naturaleza jurídica de un ente de carácter no territorial, que se resiste a ser encasillado en alguna de las categorías conocidas de sujetos del Derecho de Gentes. El libro presenta la actividad de la Orden de Malta en el concierto de las relaciones internacionales, medio en el que ejerce el derecho de legación activa y pasiva, firma tratados, y participa en nombre propio en los más importantes foros de elaboración del Derecho Humanitario Internacional."
