从20世纪开始特别是二战以来,由于国家开始普遍地从事商业活动,出于对私人利益的保护,限制豁免理论出现,并逐渐产生了绝对豁免论和限制豁免论的对立。
(一)绝对豁免原则基于“平等者之间无管辖权”原则,任何法院都不能对发生其司法管辖区内的国家行使管辖权,除非该主权国家放弃此豁免权,仍证明法院地国对于外国主权国主权平等的承认。
国家豁免原则在各国判例实践和学界理论出现了两种不同的立场,一种被认为是“必须地排他的绝对的”的绝对豁免原则,即任何主权国家在外国法院都享有完全的或者绝对的豁免,除不动产和外国自愿同意之外,国内法院对外国任何行为都没有管辖权。
作为绝对豁免理论支持者的奥本海也认为:“国家平等的一个效果,是任何国家不能对另一国行使司法权。
因而国家虽然可以在外国法院提起诉讼,但是一般不能在外国法院被诉,除非它自愿服从该法院的管辖”。
美国著名学者海德认为:“一国不受任何其他国家的管辖,并且非经其同意,任何国家不得对其提起诉讼,这己是公认的学说”。

关于国际法院与联合国核心人权公约的实施一、前言联合国核心人权公约指的是在联合国主持下通过的9 项核心国际人权公约及其议定书。
长期以来,联合国一直致力于促进核心人权公约在国内和国际社会两个层面得到实施。
从国内层面来讲,公约的实施是指缔约国在国内采取纳入或转化的方式将公约并入国内法,并保证这些国内法的执行; 从国际层面来看,公约的实施主要是指通过公约自身所建立的实施监督机制,保证缔约国能够切实履行公约义务。
但除此之外,公约的实施还包括其他促进公约权利得以实现的机制,比如作为联合国主要司法机关的国际法院,曾在案件中涉及核心人权公约的解释和适用问题。
这些解释和适用,连同条约机构的监督机制和缔约国国内的履行措施,共同促进了核心人权公约的实施。
国际法院有权受理与核心人权公约实施相关的案件,是由于一些公约中包含了将争端提交国际法院解决的条款,而国际法治的发展也使得越来越多的国家愿意将案件提交国际法院。
此外,很多国际法院的法官曾从事过人权相关工作,从而进一步加强了国际法院妥善处理与人权公约实施相关案件的能力与信心。
虽然国际法院并非专门的人权法院,但作为联合国的主要司法机关,它可以利用其专业优势及实践经验为核心人权公约的解释和适用提供权威法律意见。
这些法律意见不仅在广度和深度方面要优于专门的公约实施监督机构,而且在效力方面也要强于后者,因为国际法院作出的判决会对争端当事国产生法律拘束力。
本文根据案件所涉主题的性质,将其分为两类: 第一类案件涉及核心人权公约实施的一般国际法问题,包括人权与主权的关系、人权公约在特殊情形下的适用、对一切义务( obilgations ergaomne) 、人权违反案件中的个人赔偿问题等; 第二类案件涉及核心人权公约具体条款的解释和适用问题,包括《公民权利和政治权利国际公约》所规定的民族自决权、禁止任意逮捕和拘禁的权利、公正审判权、《消除一切形式种族歧视公约》的适用、《禁止酷刑公约》中或起诉或引渡条款、核心人权公约中的争端解决条款等。

《联合国国家及其财产管辖豁免公约》评介《联合国国家及其财产管辖豁免公约》是第一个全面规范国家及其财产管辖豁免问题的普遍性国际公约,也是第一个确认国家及其财产限制豁免的普遍性国际公约。
该《公约》的通过和开放签署对国际法的发展具有重要的理论和现实意义。
一、《公约》的起草背景和过程国家豁免主要涉及一国法院对他国的国家行为及财产是否有权管辖,以及对外国财产是否有权强制执行问题。
其对象是外国的国家行为及国家财产,其本质涉及如何协调两个国家主权和两种利益的关系这一重大而敏感问题。
如何在主张豁免国的国家人格的域外效力与给予豁免国的司法主权的域内效力之间取得合理平衡,以及如何在保护国家利益与保护个人利益之间保持合理平衡,不仅是一个法律问题,而且是一个政治问题,涉及政治考量、价值判断和政策取舍等许多因素。
纵观1812年美国联邦法院在斯库诺交易号案(Schooner Exchange Case)开始确立国家司法管辖豁免这一原则以来近两个世纪的历史,国家豁免的国际法规则的演变大体经历了两个阶段:在20世纪50年代前的一个半世纪,各国普遍奉行绝对豁免原则,即国家行为及财产在另一国法院享有绝对不受管辖和不得执行的特权。
自20世纪50年代以来的半个世纪,国际实践基本上是绝对豁免与限制豁免两种原则并存,但国际上主张限制豁免原则的呼声渐高。
以英、美为代表的西方国家及部分发展中国家认为,国家和私人当事方在商业活动中的地位应当是平等的,国家在其商业性活动中不应享有特权,一国法院应对他国的商业活动有管辖权。
限制豁免原则把国家行为分为统治权行为(acta jure inperii)或称主权行为、公法行为与管理权行为。
(acta jure gestionis)或称非主权行为、私法行为,主张国家的立法、行政、司法等统治权行为可以享受豁免,而国家从事商业活动等非主权行为不能享受豁免。
美国、英国分别于1976年、1978年制订了有关限制豁免的国内立法,欧盟也在1972年制订了《欧洲国家豁免公约》,限制豁免的立法和司法实践逐渐盛行。
国家官员的外国刑事管辖豁免2009年12月英国一家法院受理了加沙地带巴勒斯坦人委托的一名律师的起诉,该起诉指控以色列前外交部长齐皮 利夫尼犯有战争罪,因为她在2008年底支持以军在加沙地带发动“铸铅”军事行动,并导致巴勒斯坦平民丧生。
英国法院签发了逮捕令,决定将逮捕利夫尼。
(联合国2009年3月公布的调查结果显示,这场军事行动致使包括431名儿童和114名妇女在内1440名巴勒斯坦人死亡,其中大部分为平民。
联合国加沙冲突真相调查团2009年9月公布报告说,以军实施的行为构成战争罪且在某些方面可能构成反人类罪)该案在英以色列和英国之间引起了轩然大波,逮捕令引发以色列方面强烈不满,2009年12月15日以色列政府召见英国驻以色列大使汤姆·菲利普斯,提出抗议,以色列总理内塔尼亚胡在一份声明中形容签发逮捕令是“荒谬的举动”。
他还指派国家安全顾问阿拉德召见英国驻以色列大使菲利普斯,敦促英国政府“采取措施……挫败损害以色列自卫能力的企图”。
利夫尼也因此而取消了当月将对英国进行的访问。
2005年9月,以军驻加沙部队前最高指挥官、退役少将阿尔莫格抵达伦敦机场后立即乘机返回,因为他听说警察已在航站楼等着逮捕他。
(阿尔莫格2002年参与一次暗杀哈马斯前军事领导人的袭击行动,袭击造成包括9名儿童在内的14人死亡。
亚阿隆也因相同事件遭起诉。
)以色列副总理亚阿隆2009年10月原本应邀赴英参加一个犹太人慈善机构的善款筹集活动,但他得知自己可能因涉嫌战争罪而遭逮捕后取消了行程。
2009年9月,一些律师援引普遍管辖权向英国一家法院起诉以色列国防部长巴拉克,法院以巴拉克在职拥有外交豁免权为由予以驳回。

·新问题笔谈·政治与法律2007年第1期《联合国国家及其财产管辖豁免公约》规则的性质与适用王虎华罗国强(华东政法学院,上海200042)摘要:《联合国国家及其财产管辖豁免公约》规定了国家主权有限豁免的内容和标准。
《公约》有关有限豁免主义的规则是国际条约法规范,尚不能构成国际习惯法规范。
但《公约》的通过与日后的生效,将促使有限豁免主义发展成为国际习惯法。
《公约》规则在我国不应得到直接适用。
我国应制定关于国家及其财产豁免的法律,一方面将《公约》规则转化为国内法并在缔约国之间适用,另一方面对非缔约国(也包括对《公约》提出保留的缔约国)继续实行对等原则。
在今后的司法实践中,应以《公约》规则来解释国内法,从而使国内法与《公约》保持一致。

截止2006年12月5日,《公约》已经得到了25个国家的签署。

我国已经于2005年9月14日签署了《公约》,故而可见,我国将在适当的时候批准《公约》,而生效后的《公约》也将在我国国内适用。
一、《公约》的主要规则及其性质(一)《公约》的主要规则首先,国家行为及财产在他国享有诉讼管辖豁免、诉讼保全豁免和强制执行豁免,2 但国家也可以通过明示同意、主动参与诉讼或反诉的方式放弃这些豁免。
其次,国家在商业交易、雇佣合同、侵权、财产权、知识产权、参加公司或其他集体机构、国家拥有或经营的船舶、仲裁协议的效果等8种例外情况下,不享有诉讼管辖豁免;判断是否属于商业交易,作者简介:王虎华,华东政法学院教授、博士生导师;罗国强,华东政法学院讲师、法学博士。
浅析联合国豁免公约草案中的强制措施条款摘要:自美、英相继出台《外国主权豁免法》和《国家豁免法》,国际上开始了“关于国家及其财产豁免和实践的大动荡”1;。
如果说国家豁免原则的绝对性和相对性国际还没有在理论上加以明确,那么在对国家利益能产生实质性的强制措施方面,各国事实上已经达成了某些方面的默契和共识(尽管还存在范围和程度的不同)。
本文主要了《联合国国家及其财产的管辖豁免公约》91年二读草案(以下简称公约草案)中的核心条款即有关强制措施的规定,结合有关国家的立法和实践,对其加以和归纳,并对我国在公约磋商和制定过程中应采取的立场提出一些建议。
一、;执行豁免的理论(一);理论关于执行豁免,存在2种学说或者说是实践做法,一种是一体说,如果国家行为及其财产享有管辖豁免,那么所涉国家财产也享有执行豁免,反之亦然,即将管辖豁免和执行豁免等同对待,此理论是绝对豁免论在执行方面的体现;还有一种是区分说,即将管辖豁免和执行豁免视为两个不同的问题区别对待,其中又有完全区分说和部分区分说,前者主张即使不享有管辖豁免,对国家财产的执行豁免的放弃仍需另行表示,后者规定一般需要另行表示,但某些财产符合如用于商业用途、与法院地有联系、与起诉商业活动有关等国内法条件的,则不享有执行豁免,如美、英、加拿大等国。
毕业论文(二);公约的立场从公约草案第四部分的行文来看,采取了完全区分的立场,同时在某些细节方面也有特殊的地方。
体现具体在:1、;公约第18条第2款明确规定,国家同意接受他国管辖并非默示同意采取强制措施,对于强制措施必须另行表示同意。
表示同意的方式在该条第一款做了列举即:国际协定、仲裁协议、事后声明等。
2、;即使在国家已经另行表示同意的情况下,仍需符合:(1)该国已就此诉讼拨了专项财产;或;(2)执行财产位于法院地国,并被该国用于或意图用于政府非商业用途以外的目的,且与诉讼标的要求有关,或者与被诉机构或部门有关。
(1);项较易理解,在实践中也比较容易区分,(2)项则是具体判定可否采取强制措施的实质条件,现将其分解开来进行分析:A、;地点(领土联系)公约规定执行的财产对象必须位于法院地国且在法院地国被用于商业目的,也就是说,执行对象与执行地国要存在领土联系。
