D. Kourtis, The Development and Application of the International Law of State Immunity, 2025
The Development and Application of the International Law of State Immunity: The Greek Perspective offers a ground-breaking exploration of how Greece has shaped, contested, and reinterpreted one of the most enduring principles of international law, that of state immunity.
State immunity, the doctrine that shields sovereign states from the jurisdiction of foreign courts and their assets from enforcement measures, stands at the crossroads of sovereignty, sovereign equality, justice, and accountability. Yet, its contours remain fluid, constantly renegotiated through state practice, international and national law-making, and litigation. In this rich and meticulously researched study, Dimitrios A. Kourtis reveals how Greece, though often overlooked in mainstream accounts, has provided a unique and sometimes paradoxical perspective on the law of immunity. From the nineteenth-century foundations of sovereignty to twenty-first-century debates over human rights, reparations, and financial crisis management, the Greek legal order has oscillated between what the author defines as souverainete sauvage (untamed sovereignty) and souverainete sage (measured sovereignty).
Drawing on case law, doctrine, and diplomatic practice, the book traces the evolution of Greek engagement with state immunity across pivotal historical and normative moments, including the creation of the Greek state, the two World Wars, the Cold War, the negotiation of international conventions on state immunity by international organisations like the Council of Europe and the United Nations, and sovereign debt crisis of the 2010s. By weaving together theory and practice, this book illuminates how questions of jurisdictional immunity and immunity from enforcement are inseparable from broader struggles over justice, accountability, and the meaning of sovereignty in the modern international legal system.
Scholarly yet accessible, this book will appeal to international lawyers, historians, political scientists, and anyone interested in how a semi-peripheral state can leave an outsized imprint on the international legal discourse.
Μια συστηματική ανάλυση των νομικών παραμέτρων γύρω από την κατοχή και χρήση των πυρηνικών όπλων υπό το πρίσμα των κανόνων του Διεθνούς Δικαίου
