Abstract:
This book covers the relationship between the jurisdictional immunities of States and international organizations, addressing their similarities and dissimilarities. Their relationship with diplomatic immunity is also examined. It considers that the immunity of international organizations was historically conceived in terms of diplomatic immunity and State immunity. The major aim of this book is to clarify the conceptual confusion that has often bedeviled the understanding of the law of the (different but interrelated) jurisdictional immunities of both States and international organizations. The approach is to holistically analyze and synthesize select and relevant opinions of international courts and national courts. To achieve this, the book focuses more on what the law is than on what it should be. An understanding of the law is more useful to a practitioner than a criticism of it. The book is not an exegesis on everything immunity. The distinct jurisdictional immunities of heads of State and of diplomats are beyond the scope of this book, and are only tangentially examined. The book concludes by making the case that the jurisdictional immunities of States and international organizations are not only sustainable but also necessary for the international legal order to foster international relations and cooperation. The author intends to position the book to be of use both to scholars and to practicing lawyers and legal advisers in government and international organizations, as well as to lawyers whose practice concerns issues and laws of privileges and immunities.

Abstract:
Revised and updated to include recent developments since 2013, this new edition provides a detailed guide to the operation of the international rule of State immunity which bars one State's national courts from exercising criminal or civil jurisdiction over claims made against another State. Building on the analysis of its two previous editions, it reviews relevant material at both international and national levels with particular attention to US and UK law; the 2004 UN Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of the State and its Property (not yet in force), and also seeks to assess the significance of recent changes in the evolution of the law. Although the restrictive doctrine of immunity is now widely observed by which foreign States may be sued in national courts for their commercial transactions, the immunity rule remains controversial, not only by reason of the recognition of a single State's right to deny a remedy for a wrong — China, a major trading State, continues to adhere to the absolute bar — but also by the exclusion of any reparation or relief for the commission on the orders of a State of grave human rights violations. The complexity and moral challenge of the issues is illustrated by high profile cases. The expanding extraterritorial jurisdiction of national courts with regard to torture in disregard of pleas of act of State and nonjusticiability offers a further challenge to the exclusionary nature and continued observance of State immunity. Recent developments in key areas are examined, including: impleading; public policy and non-justiciability; universal civil jurisdiction for reparation for international crimes; the application of the employment exception to embassies and diplomats; immunity from enforcement and procedural measures; immunity of State officials, and tensions between national constitutional requirements and superior international norms.

Abstract:
This chapter deals with the scope of State immunity. It examines who and what benefits from the jurisdictional immunity of a State, and under what conditions or circumstances. Although State immunity belongs to the State itself, States act through agents or agencies. The chapter also examines the distinction between immunity ratione personae and immunity ratione materiae, between acta jure imperii and acta jure gestionis for purposes of the doctrine of restrictive State immunity. It analyzes the common exceptions to State immunity, as well as some controversial ones. The chapter also examines what constitutes a waiver of State immunity. However, some courts consider a waiver as an exception, which may be a vestige of the doctrine of absolute State immunity under which no suit could be brought against a State without its consent. In the end, exceptions and waivers have the same effect in the sense that immunity is denied the State.

Abstract:
Because international law is central to the determination of the jurisdictional immunity of international organizations, this chapter examines the sources of the immunity of international organizations, which is mainly treaty law. The basic text or constituent instrument by which member States establish international organizations usually provides for the organizations’ privileges and immunities. Provisions on privileges and immunities are also found in national legislation, and bilateral agreements, such as headquarters agreements or establishment agreements. The chapter also examines whether the immunity of international organizations is governed by customary international law in addition to treaty law. It further examines the interrelationship between treaty and customary international law, and the relationship between international law and national law with respect to jurisdictional immunity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter deals with the most contentious aspects of the immunity of international organizations: its determination and scope. It is well-settled, under international law, that international organizations require those immunities that are necessary for them to fulfill their functions, but the determination could be contentious, as was evident in the Cumaraswamy case that was decided by the International Court of Justice. The actual scope of the jurisdictional immunity of an international organization depends upon the interpretation of the applicable legal instrument. The chapter deals with the beneficiaries of the immunity of international organizations, as well as with what are the functions of international organizations, and official activities or acts of their officials. It also examines what may constitute waiver of or exception to immunity, and distinguishes them. The chapter further examines whether human rights concepts of access to court and denial of justice place any limitation on the jurisdictional immunity of international organizations. A denial of justice is inherent in a grant of immunity.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter examines the historical development of State immunity, from the absolute to the restrictive doctrine that distinguishes between acts jure imperii and jure gestionis. The provenance of the law on the jurisdictional immunity of States is widely held to be the case of Schooner Exchange. Although Schooner Exchange is, generally but not quite accurately, regarded as the authoritative anchor for the classical doctrine of absolute State immunity, Chief Justice Marshall saw immunity as an exception to the absolute jurisdiction of a State within its own territory. The chapter also examines the rationale of State immunity, which is based on the three major attributes of statehood: independence, sovereign equality, and dignity. The sovereignty of a State encompasses its jurisdiction over people and property within its territory. State immunity is a derogation of that jurisdiction. A major justification for State immunity is facilitation of international relations in conformity with international law.

Abstract:
This chapter is an overview of the sources of the law of State immunity. It examines international law and select national legislation on State immunity. The section on international law examines treaty law and customary international law. With respect to treaty law, it discusses the 2004 United Nations Convention of the Jurisdictional Immunity of States and Their Properties, and the 1972 European Convention on State Immunity. The 2004 United Nations Convention, which built on the experience of the 1972 European Convention, as well as the practice and legislation of various States, sought to provide a comprehensive approach to the complicated issue of State immunity and codify the restrictive doctrine of State immunity. Although the 2004 United Nations Convention has not yet entered into force, some courts and commentators have referred to some of its provisions as codification or evidence of customary international law on State immunity.

Full text
Abstract:
The conclusion makes the case that the jurisdictional immunities of States and international organizations are not only sustainable but also necessary for international relations and cooperation. Contrary to the polemic that immunity breeds impunity, jurisdictional immunities promote respect for international law rather than undermine it. Even where a State or an international organization is immune, it may still be responsible for a wrongful act. To be sure, immunities can be abused. However, abuse of immunity is a different question from the necessity of immunity. The book concludes with the submission that if the international community finds the international law of jurisdictional immunities of States and international organizations to be illegitimate or inadequate, then the proper course of action is to re-evaluate the goals served by the law.

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the nature of international organizations and the purpose of their immunity. International organizations are created by their constituent member States to discharge vital functions and responsibilities on their behalf, and in some cases on behalf of the world community as a whole. They are established to offer cooperative and concerted approaches to common challenges and some problems that have the best chance of being solved through multilateral actions. Although States remain the primary actors in international relations, international organizations have joined the arena to provide the platform that enables different States to work together. International cooperation by States has become a necessity. To achieve their objectives, international organizations are granted certain privileges and immunities by their member States: in particular, jurisdictional immunity, which protects them from legal process. It is well settled that international organizations require those immunities that are necessary for them to fulfill their functions.

Abstract:
This chapter is about domestic courts. Victims often have no other option than to seek a remedy against an international organization before domestic courts. This is so even though the domestic character of such courts does not lend well to them playing this particular adjudicative role with regard to disputes concerning international organizations and organizational immunities from the jurisdiction of domestic courts are near absolute. Unlike the progressive recognition of restrictions to the immunity of States and their agents, there have been only limited parallel developments in the domain of organizational immunity. The chapter considers the extent of immunities and other jurisdictional bars before domestic courts and considers the practice of international organizations to waive immunity.

The legal status of international organizations matters because issues of their jurisdictional immunity would not arise, a priori, if they did not have both international personality and legal personality. This chapter addresses the legal status of international organizations under both international and national laws, examining their international and legal personalities that enable them to participate in international and national life. To carry out their functions, international organizations must have the requisite legal status, which also has a bearing on their jurisdictional immunity. The chapter also includes a discussion of the difference between international personality and legal personality.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter analyzes the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the principal judicial organ of the United Nations (UN) that adjudicates interstate disputes and issues advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by authorized UN organs and specialized agencies. The Court—already constrained by its specific jurisdictional design and choice of forum options—faces additional hurdles in building up its authority concerning Islamic law states (ILS). The chapter then identifies why and when ILS are willing to accept ICJ authority. This question is considered in the context of two substantive areas of the ICJ’s jurisdiction: territorial sovereignty and diplomatic immunity. In territorial sovereignty cases, despite partial conflict between Islamic law’s edicts regarding territorial ownership and international law, ILS sometimes use the ICJ and respect its rulings. In diplomatic immunity cases, despite the consistency between Islamic and international law regulating diplomatic protection, ILS are not particularly willing to accept ICJ authority.

Abstract:
This chapter examines the similarities and differences between the immunities of States and international organizations, as well as their interrelationship with diplomatic immunities. It also points out the pitfalls of analogies among the various immunities. The analogy between the immunities of States and international organizations might have proved promising when international organizations came into existence in the twentieth century, but it is now fraught with pitfalls. In an attempt to restrict the jurisdictional immunity of international organizations, it has been analogized to State immunity, but such an analogy is inapt even though the immunity of international organizations had roots in diplomatic and State immunities. Although the immunity of international organizations originated as “a general principle resting on the questionable analogy of diplomatic immunities; it has become a complex body of rules set forth in detail in conventions, agreements, statutes and regulations.”

Abstract:
This chapter examines Article 31.1 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which deals with a diplomatic agent’s immunity from criminal jurisdiction of the receiving State. In addition, the agent shall enjoy immunity from its civil and administrative jurisdiction, except in the case of (a) a real action relating to private immovable property; (b) an action relating to succession in which the diplomatic agent is involved as executor, administrator, heir or legatee as a private person and not on behalf of the sending State; and (c) an action relating to any professional or commercial activity outside his official functions. As inviolability was becoming recognised, it would have been unusual for criminal proceedings to take place without prior arrest and detention of the accused. Immunity from civil and administrative jurisdiction, which is less obviously coercive in character, was the next to become established of the basic rules of diplomatic law.

Full text
Abstract:
According to the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), the not-yet-in-force 2004 UN Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and Their Property (UNCSI) codifies the customary law of State immunity. This chapter challenges that unqualified view,which signals a superficial reading of the UNCSI process, background, and norms. A primary illustration is offered by Article 11 on the employment exception to State immunity which, taken as a whole, is simply not validated by uniform State practice. Nonetheless, the ECtHR has consistently relied on that UNCSI provision. The chapter does not lose sight of the high level of protection of embassy employees and similarly situated individuals, which derives from the ECtHR UNCSI-related jurisprudence, and accepts that such a level of protection may have been the ultimate end pursued by the Court. Yet it is open to question whether that end is worth every legal means, including reliance on a convention which, in various respects, might result in an undue ossification and regression of the law of State immunity as hitherto interpreted and applied by many States.

Then it briefly sets out the law relating to the immunities of the State itself as a legal person, followed by the law applicable to its officials and to state agencies. In addition an account based on customary international law will be provided on the immunities of senior state officials. The chapter concludes by taking note of the extent to which the practice of diplomatic missions at the present time accords with requirements of state immunity law as now set out in written form in the 2004 UN Convention on the Jurisdictional Immunities of States and their Property.

Abstract:
In 2016 the ICJ gave five judgments and made two significant orders. All five judgments concerned various issues of jurisdiction, while the orders concerned respectively the appointment of experts and provisional measures of protection. Three new cases were begun in 2016. These related to the status and use of a river, the alleged immunity of a minister and the legal status of an embassy building, and the alleged violation of a treaty between Iran and the United States. The Court was also able to hold public hearings on the preliminary objections in one case with a view to giving judgment in 2017. The Court's record in 2016 underlines the importance of jurisdictional issues in its work and shows that states continue to value its assistance in resolving their disputes peacefully.

Abstract:
Normally, states parties to an armed conflict settle the financial consequences of that conflict in the traditional way, if ever they reach agreement, by concluding comprehensive treaties that embrace also all the claims that their nationals may have acquired on account of the conflict. The most common form of reparation consists of lump sum payments that do not differentiate between the different groups of victims. Remedies for individuals are not available within the framework of international humanitarian law (IHL) at the international level. This chapter explores state responsibility and the individual right to compensation before national courts, in particular violations of IHL. It looks at compensation claims before the courts of the alleged wrongdoing state, as well as those claims outside the alleged wrongdoing state. It considers national reparation programmes, tort claims arising from military operations during non-international armed conflict, tort claims arising from international armed conflict, the territorial clause,jus cogensversus jurisdictional immunity, implications for public policy, and universal jurisdiction for reparation claims.

Abstract:
Diplomatic Law was first published in 1976. The book places each provision of the Convention in its historical context; provides commentary on the application of the Convention by the UK, the US, and other States; and thoroughly examines topical problems in the field including the abuse of diplomatic immunity and terrorist violence. This updated edition also highlights important new trends in the application of the Convention regime. It explores the interaction between State and diplomatic immunity (as shown in the Pinochet case), examines methods of establishing and conducting diplomatic relations under conditions of physical danger, and looks at increased evidence of disregard for the rules of secrecy in diplomatic communications. The book also explores the greater latitude for diplomats to ‘interfere’ in the internal affairs of the receiving State in the interest of protecting human rights and evaluates the impact of adoption of the UN Convention on Jurisdictional Immunities of States and their Property.

This chapter explores Article 32 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which highlights the waiver of immunity of diplomatic agents. According to Article 32, the immunity from jurisdiction of diplomatic agents and of persons enjoying immunity under Article 37 may be waived by the sending State. In addition, the Article also states that the waiver sent must always be express and that the initiation of proceedings by a diplomatic agent or by a person enjoying immunity from jurisdiction under Article 37 shall preclude him from invoking immunity from jurisdiction in respect of any counter-claim directly connected with the principal claim. Finally, the Article also states that waiver of immunity from jurisdiction in respect of civil or administrative proceedings shall not be held to imply waiver of immunity in respect of the execution of the judgment, for which a separate waiver shall be necessary.

Abstract:
In League of Arab States, the Belgian Court of Cassation held that the League could not rely on its immunity from jurisdiction before Belgian courts, as, absent parliamentary approval, the Headquarters Agreement between Belgium and the League could not have domestic legal consequences. The Court added that there was no general principle of public international law in the sense of art. 38(1)(c) ICJ Statute to the effect of international organizations enjoying immunity from jurisdiction. This decision is in line with decisions from other jurisdictions, which require a treaty basis for international organization immunity to be successfully invoked. It contrasts however with an earlier decision by the Dutch Supreme Court (Spaans), pursuant to which the immunity of international organizations follows from customary international law.

Abstract:
This 1966 case constitutes one of the first cases in which UN immunity from jurisdiction was challenged. Apart from the question whether the UN had legal personality under domestic law, all other arguments raised by the plaintiff in this case—seeking to restrict UN immunity from jurisdiction—are still debated nowadays before domestic jurisdictions. The Brussels Civil Tribunal notably examined whether the UN’s immunity was conditional upon the latter’s respect of art. VIII, Section 29 of the Convention on Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations, whether the immunity could be rejected in favour of a human rights argument based on the right of access to justice, and whether it could only be invoked in relation to actions or situations that were necessary for the UN to achieve its goals. Finally, it assessed the existence of a waiver in this particular case.

Full text
Abstract:
This chapter analyses Article 31.3 of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations which stresses the immunity from execution of the diplomatic agent. Article 31.3 states that no measures of execution may be taken in respect of a diplomatic agent except in cases regarding the sub-paragraphs (a), (b), and (c) of Article 31.1., and provided that the measures concerned can be taken without infringing the inviolability of his person or of his residence. The principle of immunity from execution derives from the diplomat’s inviolability of person, residence, and property as well as from his immunity from civil jurisdiction. However, a diplomat’s residence may be vulnerable to execution if it is part of a larger block owned by the sending State and a judgment of a national court declares that the block as a whole is not exempt from execution.
