It has long been accepted that international organizations and their staff need to enjoy immunity from the jurisdiction of national courts. However, it is the application of these rules in practice that increasingly causes controversy. Claims against international organizations are brought before national courts by those who allegedly suffer from their activities. These can be both natural and legal persons such as companies. National courts, in particular lower courts, have often been less willing to recognize the immunity of the organization concerned than the organization?s founding fathers. Likewise, public opinion and legal writings frequently criticize international organizations for invoking their immunity and for the lack of adequate means of redress for claimants. It is against this background that an international conference was organized at Leiden University in June 2013. A number of highly qualified academics and practitioners gave presentations and prepared written contributions that are collected in this book. This book is published to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the International Organizations Law Review , in which these contributions have also been published (Vol. 10, issue 2, 2014). 410 0$aLegal Aspects of International Organizations$v55. 606 $aInternational agencies$xPrivileges and immunities$vCongresses 606 $aInternational agencies$xPrivileges and immunities$2fast 608 $aConference papers and proceedings.$2fast 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aInternational agencies$xPrivileges and immunities 615 7$aInternational agencies$xPrivileges and immunities. 676 $a341.2 701 $aBlokker$b Niels$0262320 701 $aSchrijver$b Nico$f1954-$0240653 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910493690003321 996 $aImmunity of international organizations$92455735 997 $aUNINA
