Research Handbooks in International Law series

由亚历山大•Orakhelashvili编辑Reader, School of Law, University of Birmingham, UK

This Research Handbook provides a comprehensive and up-to-date analysis of the international law of jurisdiction and immunities, illustrating those aspects in which the law of jurisdiction and law of immunities are mutually interdependent, as well as shedding light on the implications of that interdependence. With authoritative contributions from recognized experts, it offers an impartial perspective on the applicable international law, independent from any positions held in governmental or other institutional circles.

‘Jurisdiction is about the reach of power; immunities are about the restriction of such power. There are few more fundamental, important, or pervasive topics in international law. Yet, jurisdiction and immunities have not received the treatment that they deserve. Comprehensive and balanced, allowing the reader to delve deeply into specific subjects or draw connections among seemingly disparate areas, there is no better survey of this critical field than this Research Handbook.’
