Rather, it now extends to the regulation of the behaviour of states against their citizens within their own borders. Protecting human rights is now believed to be a ‘a matter of priority for the international community’. This chapter studies the progress of rules that recognizes individual rights under international law. The chapter points out how developments in international human rights law can relate to the immunity of states and their officials under international law by focusing on state immunity and the personal immunity of diplomatic agents and foreign heads of state. This chapter also tries to test the coherency of several debates on human rights exception in light of the parameters of the international human rights law and state immunity rules.
