Diplomatic Immunity Re-examined: How International Organizations and Landmark Case Studies Influence Human Rights Law

Abstract

This article, "Diplomatic Immunity Reexamined: How International Organizations and Landmark Case Studies Influence Human Rights Law," explores the evolving intersection of diplomatic immunity and human rights law. It critically assesses the impact of international organizations and landmark judicial decisions on the application and scope of diplomatic immunity. Through a detailed analysis of seminal case studies and their implications, the article argues that while diplomatic immunity serves to uphold sovereign privileges and facilitate international relations, its application must be continually reexamined to ensure it does not undermine the protection of individual human rights. By investigating pivotal cases and the roles of various international bodies, this study sheds light on the dynamic tension between diplomatic privileges and human rights obligations, offering a nuanced perspective on how these legal frameworks can be harmonized to better serve global justice.
