State Immunity: Some Recent Developments

by Christoph H. Schreuer

Suits against States and State-owned corporations in foreign courts are a major feature of international transactions and activities. In the twentieth-century, treaties, national legislation and numerous judicial decisions have led to significant development in this important area of the law. This book examines the principal international and national aspects of these fresh features. It will be of considerable interest to practitioners dealing with transnational cases, to government officials, to those interested in the machinery of international trade and to scholars of international law.
