Details

This updated Research Handbook presents a comprehensive analysis of the international law of jurisdiction and immunities, examining the mutual interdependence between the two as well as shedding light on the implications. Featuring diverse contributions from leading experts, emerging scholars, and practitioners, it provides an impartial perspective on the applicable international law.

Incorporating novel insights and recent developments, the Research Handbook covers key topics including the concept of universal jurisdiction, the differentiation of immunities from jurisdiction, and immunity claims in various types of judicial proceedings. It discusses the complex legal questions that arise when a state asserts its jurisdiction over persons that are based abroad or are not citizens of that state, and analyzes the immunity of foreign states and international organizations. Considering the impact of recent legislation, court cases and events, this revised second edition highlights ongoing trends and controversies surrounding jurisdiction and immunities in the context of international law.

This second edition of the Research Handbook on Jurisdiction and Immunities in International Law will benefit students, researchers, and educators in international public law. Civil servants and employees of international organizations and NGOs will also find it an invaluable resource.
