Abstract

The scope of the jurisdictional immunities owed by one State to another under customary international law is one of the more unsettled and controversial questions to have come before the International Court of Justice over the past decade. The ICJ’s answers to certain aspects of this question have already proved and are likely further to prove influential on, even decisive for, the development of the law, both in what they have said as to its contemporary content and in the conservative tone they have set. The chapter considers the Court’s less contentious contributions to the international law of jurisdictional immunities before examining its impact on more disputed matters and its place in the wider milieu of normative development on point.

Keywords: jurisdictional immunities, international court of justice
