This groundbreaking book offers a compelling articulation of the
right of access to justice for individuals facing human rights
violations by international organizations. Following an examination
of the human rights obligations of a variety of international
organizations, the author scrutinizes their dispute settlement
mechanisms as well as the conflict between their immunities and the
right of access to justice before national jurisdictions.
Highlighting recent examples, such as the cholera outbreak in
Haiti, this book reveals how individual victims of human rights
violations by international organizations are frequently left in
the cold, due to the lack of an independent, impartial dispute
settlement mechanism before which they can file such claims.
Considering both global mechanisms and current mechanisms
established by international organisations such as administrative
jurisdictions for employment-related disputes, Pierre Schmitt finds
that they either are not competent or that they have a limited
scope. He concludes by offering normative proposals addressed both
to international organizations and to national judges confronted
with such cases. Offering a wealth of empirical and practical
wisdom, this book will appeal to scholars in public international
law and human rights. It is also a must-read for practitioners,
judges and legal advisers working in the field and will prove a
useful tool for national authorities negotiating immunity
conventions with international organizations.
