Responsibility and Immunities: Similarities and Differences between States and International Organisations

International litigation and codification efforts over the past decade show that the law of responsibility and of immunity gets increasingly intertwined, and parallel developments take place in the law applicable to States and to international organisations. The European Court’s judgment on Srebrenica Mothers was one of the recent illustrations of the intertwining nature of these developments. However, it should also be borne in mind that States and international organisations are structurally different entities and different legal persons. This issue cannot be without importance from whether and to what extent the principles applicable to their liability and immunity can be similar. In this spirit, this presentation will try to explore the similarities and differences in these areas, notably in terms of such notions as attribution in the law of responsibility, and functionality in the law of immunities.
