Summary:

This book is the result of the Pilot Project of the Council of Europe on State Practice Regarding State Immunities carried out under the auspices of the Committee of Legal Advisers on Public International Law (CAHDI) since 2002. It presents and analyses the material submitted by 27 Member States and one Observer State of the Council of Europe, including decisions of national courts, relevant legislation and other documents. The analytical report was undertaken by the Department of International Law of the Vienna University, the British Institute of International and Comparative Law and the Graduate Institute of International Studies, Geneva. It compares State practice with the relevant articles of the UN Convention, the European Convention on State Immunity and the draft articles prepared by academic institutions. It is the first in depth analysis of European State practice in the field of State immunity. Such a broad analyses is inevitable in particular for the ascertainment of customary international law.This book is addressed to civil servants and practitioners engaged in business relations with foreign States, lawyers, including national judges, and academics in international and comparative law.
