Description
State immunity in international law refers to the exemption enjoyed by states from legal proceedings before foreign national courts. This complex area of law is explored in depth by Xiaodong Yang, who examines the historical development of the doctrine and practice through an exhaustive analysis of judicial decisions, international treaties, national legislation, government statements, and scholarly opinion.
The book critically analyses the rationale for restrictive immunity and investigates important exceptions to immunity, including commercial transactions, contracts of employment, tortious liability, separate entities, the enforcement of judgments, waiver of immunity, and the interplay between state immunity and human rights. Yang provides a comprehensive picture of the law of state immunity as it currently stands.
Practitioners, academics, and students will find this book to be a valuable resource for understanding the intricacies of state immunity in international law.
