“Not Permanent, Nor Static”: Perspectives on “Humanisation” of International Immunities in International Law

Abstract

“Humanisation” has had a variable impact on international law. Nevertheless, it has failed to significantly affect the state-centric paradigm underpinning state and state officials’ jurisdictional immunities. The present contribution is intended to provide some remarks on the challenges and perspectives on the humanisation of international immunities in international law.
