Abstract

International law imposes certain immunities on persons representing the interests of the state. The immunity of state officials does not relate to the personal rights and freedoms of the individual, but is related to the exercise of the relevant functions of the official as an element of the actual position occupied, which has an objective expression and is an important feature of the special status of the higher officials of the states due to the nature of their representative functions.
