Reviews
An acute and scholarly update on the law of the Jurisdictional Immunities of States and International Organizations. Stephen M. Schwebel, former judge of the International Court of Justice
By what authority do courts and tribunals pass judgment on the conduct of sovereigns and international organizations? The ground is well traversed with respect to the former, less so in the case of the latter. The fruit of impressive and wide-ranging research, resolutely giving primacy to experience rather than theory, this book reveals the functional similarities and disparities of the immunities of these two types of entities, and in so doing, leads the reader to a more profound understanding of both. * Jan Paulsson, Professor of Law, University of Miami, and Founding Partner, Three Crowns LLP * The importance of privileges and immunities to the functioning of international organizations cannot be overemphasized, and this comprehensible book is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the immunity of international organizations from the jurisdiction of national courts. All those who work for, work with, or are interested in international organizations should make sure they have a copy on their desk! * Sandie Okoro, Senior Vice President and Group General Counsel, The World Bank Group * This book provides an excellent introduction to the complex and controversial subject of immunity of foreign States and international organizations from suits in national courts, with a special focus on the United States and United Kingdom. Practitioners will find this an especially useful resource. * John B. Bellinger, III, Partner, Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer LLP, and Former Legal Adviser to the United States Department of State from 2005 to 2009 * An acute and scholarly update on the law of the Jurisdictional Immunities of States and International Organizations. * Stephen M. Schwebel, former judge of the International Court of Justice *
