PRISON VISITOR MANAGEMENT SYSTEM INFORMATION PO.BOX: 243 GISENYI CASE STUDY: RUBAVU CORRECTION FACILITY (RFC)

Abstract

Actually, State immunity is a principle of customary international law. Barring a satisfactory explanation as to the meaning of ‘State’ and ‘immunity’, which would generate still more questions, this statement encompasses two propositions: first, that State immunity is a principle of international, as opposed to national or municipal, law; and secondly, that the relevant rules, Prison visitor management system information Case study: rubavu correction facility (rfc) insofar as can be reasonably demonstrated, are customary in nature; that is, they have come into existence without the aid of international treaties of relatively universal applicability. State immunity is a doctrine rooted in principles of Public International Law that a sovereign state would have its sovereignty infringed if, without its consent, it became subject to the jurisdiction of the national courts of another sovereign state. Considering that the jurisdictional immunities of States and their property are generally accepted as a principle of customary international law and Believing that an international convention on the jurisdictional immunities of States and their property would enhance the rule of law and legal certainty, particularly in dealings of States with natural or juridical persons, and would contribute to the codification and development of international law and the harmonization of practice in this area, It’s also Affirming that the rules of customary international law continue to govern matters not regulated by the provisions of the present Convention. Most of the article deals with functional immunity (immunity ratione materiae). We take the view that this type of immunity does not apply in the case of domestic prosecution of foreign officials for most international crimes. However, we reject the traditional arguments which have been put forward by scholars and courts in support of this view. Instead we consider the key to understanding when functional immunity is available lies in examining how jurisdiction is conferred on domestic courts.
