Abstract

This chapter explores the concept of State sovereignty. It further demonstrates how international law imposes on States the obligation to protect fundamental human rights, and how the State-oriented approach has gradually given way to a human rights-oriented approach. Through analysis of the transition from Westphalian to post-Westphalian sovereignty and by a reappraisal of the relationship between State sovereignty and human rights, Chap. 2 considers the contradictions between State sovereignty and international law and provides a theoretical framework for immunities. Thus Chap. 2 provides and explains the link between State sovereignty and immunities.
