Exercising FOREIGN CRIMINAL JURISDICTION over State officials
نویسندگان
چکیده مقاله:
Our article examines the extent to which state officials are subject to prosecution in foreign domestic courts for international crimes. We consider the different types of immunity that international law accords to state officials, the reasons for the conferment of this immunity and whether they apply in cases in which it is alleged that the official has committed an international crime. Legal domestic Judgments around the world particularly in UK and Spain support our approach and we use the findings of the International Court of Justice in several relevant cases such as Arrest Warrant of 11 April 2000. We argue that personal immunity continues to apply even where prosecution is sought for international crimes. Also we consider that instead of a single category of personal immunity there are in fact two types of such immunity and that one type extends beyond senior officials such as the Head of State and Head of Government. Most of the article deals with functional immunity.
