Book Description
Few topics of inteational law speak to the imagination as much as inteational immunities. Questions pertaining to immunity from jurisdiction or execution under inteational law surface on a frequent basis before national courts, including at the highest levels of the judicial branch and before inteational courts or tribunals. Nevertheless, inteational immunity law is and remains a challenging field for practitioners and scholars alike. Challenges stem in part from the uncertainty pertaining to the customary content of some immunity regimes said to be in a 'state of flux', the divergent – and at times directly conflicting - approaches to immunity in different national and inteational jurisdictions, or the increasing intolerance towards impunity that has accompanied the advance of inteational criminal law and human rights law. Composed of thirty-four expertly written contributions, the present volume uniquely provides a comprehensive tour d'horizon of inteational immunity law, traversing a wealth of national and inteational practice.
