Political ScienceDate Written: January 31, 201733 PagesPosted: 6 Feb 2017 AbstractTraditional rules concerning the immunity of States from jurisdiction are currently challenged by Italian domestic courts, seeking the possibility to provide exceptions to foreign immunity based upon the gravity of the foreign States conduct and the consequences on human rights following recognition of State immunity. Such a trend is opposed to others that for example recognize a blanket of immunity to international organisations even where these do not establish internal procedures to adjudicate their conducts. The aim of the present work is to reconstruct the opposing emerging trends so to reflect on their value in the promotion of new rules, and to determine their consequences in terms of crisis of the law of State immunity.DOMINELLI, Stefano.

Cette application ambivalente sajoute aux problemes proceduraux, nationaux et internationaux, susceptibles de se poser aux fins de jugement ou du recouvrement dune creance. Il apparait que la these de Roberto Ago relative au Crime dEtat, qui commence a etre prise en compte dans une certaine mesure par des tribunaux internes, pourrait etre une solution efficace et coherente aux fins de la lutte contre limpunite. La mise en uvre de cette these pourrait ainsi enrichir le droit international relatif a la repression de tout type de crimes (supranationaux et transnationaux).English Abstract: The study of interaction between immunities and corruption demonstrates that international law involves paradoxes. Indeed, according to the State, the practice proves that the law of immunity could be implemented even if the case is corrupted. This ambivalent application is cumulated with procedural issues from international and national law for the creditor or the forum of judgment. The thesis from Roberto Ago about State Crime, which is taken in account by a few national tribunals, could be an effective and coherent solution for the fight against impunity and be allowed
