Few topics of international law speak to the imagination as much as
international immunities. Questions pertaining to immunity from
jurisdiction or execution under international law surface on a
frequent basis before national courts, including at the highest
levels of the judicial branch and before international courts or
tribunals. Nevertheless, international 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 international
jurisdictions, or the increasing intolerance towards impunity that
has accompanied the advance of international criminal law and human
rights law. Composed of thirty-four expertly written contributions,
the present volume uniquely provides a comprehensive tour d'horizon
of international immunity law, traversing a wealth of national and
international practice.
