How do top-level public officials take advantage of immunity from
foreign jurisdiction afforded to them by international law? How
does this privilege allow them to thwart investigations and trial
proceedings in foreign courts? What responses exist to prevent and
punish such conduct? In Between Immunity and Impunity, Yuliya
Zabyelina unravels the intricate layers of impunity of political
elites complicit in transnational crimes. She examines cases of
trafficking in persons and drugs, corruption, and money laundering
that implicate heads of state and of government, ministers,
diplomats, and international civil servants. Zabyelina shows that,
despite the potential of jurisdictional immunity to impede or delay
justice, there are prominent instruments of external accountability
to minimize the impunity of criminal political elites. Accessible
and compelling, this book provides novel insights for readers
interested in the close-knit bond between power, illicit wealth,
and impunity.
