摘要

This article considers the types of immunity available to state officials and their applicability in national and international prosecutions for international crimes. The author analyzes the tensions between the provisions of the ICC Statute dealing with immunity and argues that while the immunities of officials of nonparties remain unaffected by the Statute, ICC parties have accepted obligations going beyond customary law in relation to their own officials.
