On the one hand, State refers to the rights and obligations under international law and on the other hand, there is "local", which refers to the territorial level. The notion of a national state authority refers to government bodies. Finally, local authority is a term that is used to refer to authorities that are opposed to the State; their main source of support is the European Outline Convention on Transfrontier Co-operation between Territorial Communities or Authorities (Madrid, 21 1980). All this leads to framework of cooperation under international law, which is developed in the article.
