The Law of State Immunity

The law of state immunity means that a country (or state) cannot be sued in the courts of another country without its consent. This principle is based on the idea that all states are equal and should respect each other's autonomy. There are two types of state immunity: absolute and restrictive. Absolute immunity means a state is immune from all types of legal cases, while restrictive immunity allows exceptions, such as commercial activities or actions that cause harm. This law helps maintain good international relations and prevents conflicts between countries. Balancing state immunity with justice for individuals can be challenging, as it requires careful consideration of both international law and the rights of affected parties. This book unfolds the innovative aspects of the law of state immunity which will be crucial for the holistic understanding of the subject matter. The topics covered in this extensive book deal with the core subjects of public international law. This book, with its detailed analyses and data, will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
