Jurisdictional Immunities & Human Rights Iakovos Iakovidis Deputy Permanent Representative of Greece to the United Nations Office at Geneva ISBN 978-960-654-491-0 Abstract: State immunities and immunities of state officials are more often than not at loggerheads with the implementation of international human rights law and the core provisions of international human rights conventions. A corollary of the West- phalian Peace Treaties and the sovereign equality of states, the customary principle of public international law par in parem non habet imperium, or better, non habet jurisdictionem , is at odds with the development of human rights law over the last de- cades. Reviewing the most recent ICJ and ECHR rulings, as well as national decisions and legislations, ILC drafts and IIL Resolutions, this book presents the most recent developments of both national and international lawwith regard to immunities and human rights.
