IO-IMMUNITY PROJECT

The research investigates the legal regime of jurisdictional immunities of internationalorganizations. Its purpose is to systematize some core international law notions and in particular the shields and bridges that international law builds so that its legal subjects can act and interact. Why and how international actors deserve to be shielded from the intrusion of national legal orders? To what extent this protection is linked to their functions and personality at the international level? In which way bridges nonetheless exist among international law itself, national legal orders and the legal systems of international organizations?
