  • Summary

    The ICJ’s contribution to the law on jurisdictional immunities is elucidated by Professor Roger O’Keefe. He argues that, through its case law in this area, the ICJ has affirmed basic aspects of the international law of jurisdictional immunities, clarified a few more specific points, and variously crystallised, consolidated, and catalyzed the further development of important customary rules on controversial issues in relation to civil and criminal proceedings respectively. Through its work in this field, the Court has reasserted an orthodox, possibly conservative vision of the role of jurisdictional immunities in the international legal order.
