Abstract
On 3 February 2012, the International Court of Justice (‘ICJ’) adjudged a dispute between the Federal Republic of Germany and the Italian Republic — the Hellenic Republic intervening. The dispute concerned Germany’s purported immunity in Italian courts for atrocities committed by German troops during World War II. Ultimately, Germany’s immunity was upheld, marking a pivotal moment in foreign sovereign immunity and bringing to a head years of conjecture about what may be loosely termed a human rights exception to state immunity. The ruling should prove fundamental to further development in the field.
