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 State immunity. The major aim of this book is to
clarify the conceptual confusion that has often marred 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 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 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 international relations and cooperation. The
author intends to position the book to be of use both to scholars
and 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.
