Challenges for Interpol in its External Relations
Out of the many fascinating issues concerning the International Criminal Police Organization—INTERPOL (INTERPOL), I would like to concentrate on three main themes and topics. The first one has to do with the status of INTERPOL and the potential impact of a multilateral privileges and immunities treaty on such status. The second concerns the challenges arising from the case of Waite and Kennedy v. Germany 1 ( Waite and Kennedy ), and whatever foll…
Maffezini v Spain Case
Eine völkerrechtliche Außenperspektive auf die extraterritoriale Geltung der EMRK im Zusammenhang mit den »Klimaklagen« vor dem EGMR
The climate cases before the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) raise fundamental questions about the extraterritorial application of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), particularly regarding the scope of human rights obligations in addressing cross-border environmental issues such as climate change. This highlights a tension between the traditional, territory-based interpretation of treaty law and the functional approach of inte…

Schreuers Commentary on the Icsid Convention
Property, Right to, International Protection
Sources of International Organizations’ Law
This chapter notes that for a considerable period, international organizations scholarship was preoccupied with establishing international organizations as actors enjoying their own international legal personality. With the increase and diversification of tasks fulfilled by such organizations, the question has come to the fore as to what extent these subjects of international law may become responsible for their actions. This debate has overshado…
Privileges and Immunities
International organizations (IOs) require a broad range of privileges and immunities in order to carry out their tasks independently from any interference by the domestic law and courts of host or other states. Recently, the growing scope of activities of IOs coupled with a heightened rights-awareness of those who might be negatively affected by broad privileges and immunities of IOs has raised questions about the legitimacy of sweeping privilege…
Methods of Dispute Resolution
This chapter reviews the different options available for the settlement of investment disputes, describing their main advantages and disadvantages. Topics discussed include national courts, the ICSID system, institutionally supported arbitration other than ICSID or Additional Facility, the Permanent Court of Arbitration, diplomatic protection, and international courts and tribunals.
Expropriation
This chapter examines problem of indirect expropriation by focusing on the actual judicial and, to a large extent, arbitral practice in the respective fields. At the heart of the investigation is the increased case-law under the ICSID Convention and the ICSID Additional Facility (in particular under NAFTA14 Chapter 11). The practice of the Iran–US Claims Tribunal, ad hoc investment arbitrations and judgments of international courts, such as the I…
The Immunity of International Organizations and the Jurisdiction of their Administrative Tribunals
International organizations regularly enjoy immunity from suit in employment-related cases. Instead of litigation before various national courts, staff members are supposed to bring their complaints before internal grievance mechanisms and ultimately before administrative tribunals set up by the organizations. The scope of jurisdiction of such administrative tribunals largely covers the kind of staff disputes insulated from national court scrutin…
European Court Practice Concerning State Immunity from Enforcement Measures
The practice of national courts in Europe with regard to enforcement immunity is far from uniform. Nevertheless, certain common principles have emerged over the last decades. Absolute immunity from enforcement measures has been largely abandoned and almost all jurisdictions have adopted a restrictive approach to enforcement immunity in one or another form. Enforcement measures are usually permitted in case of waiver or with regard to earmarked pr…
Securing the Accountability of International Organizations
The shift of government/governance tasks from states to nonstate actors is a complex, multidimensional, simultaneously upward and downward process. On the one hand, there are large-scale transfers of state functions to private entities in the former Communist countries as well as in Western democracies. These range from core economic matters to prisons and security services.[1] On the other hand, there is a tendency to move such tasks to inter- o…

Kant, Intervention and the ‘Failed State’
Nowadays Kant's practical philosophy (including his political philosophy) is as highly regarded as his theoretical philosophy. This is an important development since the more constructive side of Kant's philosophy is to be found in his moral and political works. The main task of the Critique of Pure Reason is to clarify its concepts and to get rid of basic errors, and thus only ‘negative’. The moral and political writings, on the other hand, try …
