'The ratification and signing of international human rights conventions are one of the landmark achievements of the twentieth century, signalling the global necessity of respecting human dignity by protecting fundamental entitlements. This book significantly advances such debates with its rigorous analysis and defence of jus cogens norms to brilliantly argue that these norms must prevail over state immunity and impunity.' -Alison MacKenzie, School of Sociology, Education and Social Work, Queen's University Belfast, UK 'I commend to prospective readers Dr Selman Özdan's considerations of the tension between immunities and impunity within the rarefied air of jus cogens norms within an international human rights law paradigm. Dr Özdan does well to set out a possible road forward towards an international rule of law which ensures the absolute protection of those fundamental rights of a peremptory character.' -Jean Allain, Professor of International Law, Monash University, Australia This book focuses on the tension between the protection of human rights recognised as jus cogens (peremptory) norms, on the one hand, and the bestowal of immunity on the state and its representatives, on the other, to ascertain how these immunities can be eroded, if not fully abolished, to maintain full protection of jus cogens human rights under international law. The book argues that immunity should not equate to impunity when violations of jus cogens human rights are committed by States, Heads of State, or diplomatic agents. To make the case, the organic structures of the concepts of sovereignty and fundamental human rights are examined. Then, the human rights-based challenge to immunity is presented with respect to State, Head of State and diplomatic immunity, and the transition from a state-centric system to a human-centric system is explored. Jus cogens norms are at the centre of the impunity versus immunity debate. Selman Özdan is Assistant Professor in the School of Law at Ondokuz Mayıs University, Turkey, where he is Head of Department for Public International Law. Previously, he worked at Erciyes University School of Law. He is a member of the Society of Legal Scholars and Case Western Reserve University Law Alumni Association. His most recent book chapter appeared in The Epistemology of Deceit in a Postdigital Era: Dupery by Design (2021).

State immunity protects the world's most powerful individuals from prosecution in foreign states, no matter how serious the alleged crime. This book clearly explains which individuals are immune, for what conduct and for what period. The justifications for immunity are examined and state practice, including the decisions in the Pinochet case, are analysed. This book shows that immunity is only narrowly available to the highest of state officials whilst in office, and that the immunity accorded, by consent, to special missions is otherwise sufficient. This book argues that former high state officials are not immune from prosecution for serious offences committed on the territory of other states. The analysis demonstrates that not all official conduct automatically imparts immunity from prosecution. The development of the regime for the prosecution and punishment of international crimes by international courts is considered and the perceived conflict between immunity and impunity is examined in the light of the complementarity principle of the International Criminal Court. This book is essential reading for all international lawyers, academics and students.

In recent judgments, the claim has been made that immunity, as a procedural rule, does not affect substantive norms but merely diverts the claim to an alternative forum. As such, the claim is made that immunity does not equate to impunity. Yet, within a context in which the courts of the state in which the torture allegedly took place are very often unavailable and diplomatic protection does not amount to an alternative means of settlement, the provision of immunity in foreign courts contributes to, justifies, and may even constitute the resulting impunity. At the same time, the framework within which immunity is addressed tends to lend itself to such a result. Courts routinely cite sovereign equality, par in parem non habet jurisdictionem, dignity, and comity as legitimate bases on which to grant immunity without considering the evolution of these doctrines. As a result, the contemporary application of immunity is premised on 1648 understandings of doctrines such as sovereignty, thus positioning the state above the law, a result which renders the prohibition of torture impotent.

In the past twenty years, international criminal law has become one of the main areas of international legal scholarship and practice. Most textbooks in the field describe the evolution of international criminal tribunals, the elements of the core international crimes, the applicable modes of liability and defences, and the role of states in prosecuting international crimes. The Oxford Handbook of International Criminal Law, however, takes a theoretically informed and refreshingly critical look at the most controversial issues in international criminal law, challenging prevailing practices, orthodoxies, and received wisdoms. Some of the contributions to the Handbook come from scholars within the field, but many come from outside of international criminal law, or indeed from outside law itself. The chapters are grounded in history, geography, philosophy, and international relations. The result is a Handbook that expands the discipline and should fundamentally alter how international criminal law is understood.

The law of immunity of states, of international organisations, and of public officials is one of the most important and most controversial topics of international law. The book consists of five parts: ‘State Immunity – National Practice’; State Immunity before the ICJ – The case Germany v Italy; ‘Commercial Activities and State Immunity’; ‘Immunity and Impunity’; and ‘Immunities of International Organisations’. Although immunities are in principle firmly anchored in international law, their precise legal implications are often unclear. The book takes up a number of new trends and challenges in this field and assesses them within the framework of global constitutionalism and multilevel governance. Contains chapters in both English and French.

This volume reviews the achievements and limitations of the International Criminal Tribunals for the former Yugoslavia and Rwanda, and the creation of mixed national/international courts: the Special Court for Sierra Leone and the Cambodia Tribunal. The major, unexpected and promising judiciary innovation is however the creation of the International Criminal Court in 1998, supported by the UN, European Union members and other countries, effectively promoted by NGOs, but strongly opposed by the USA. The Court will have to show that it is a fair and valuable instrument in fighting impunity at the international level.
