»Immunity for Heads of State and High Ranking Members of Government before the ICC - The Conflict between the Right of the State to Inflict Punishment and the Individual Right to Immunity in Special Consideration of a Development of International Customary Law Regarding an Exemption from Immunity for Non-Party States before the ICC«The conflict between the right of the state to inflict punishment and the individual right to immunity concerns the criminal persecution of crimes pertaining to international law committed by heads of state before the ICC.
