State Immunity versus Human Rights

Human Rights violations by states are one of the major focal points in recent international law studies, the notion is heavily debated and there are conflicting approaches over the interpretation of the respective doctrines. The book tries to shed light on human rights violations conducted by the state and its officials and the subsequent attempt of states to escape responsibility by appealing to international norms such as the state immunity norm. It reveals the imminent clash between Human Rights Conventions protecting the individual and the State Immunity norm protecting the state.
