The book argues that immunity should not equate to impunity when violations of \u003ci\u003ejus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e human rights are committed by States, Heads of State, or diplomatic agents. To make the case, the organic structures of the concepts of sovereignty and fundamental human rights are examined. Then, the human rights-based challenge to immunity is presented with respect to State, Head of State and diplomatic immunity, and the transition from a state-centric system to a human-centric system is explored. \u003ci\u003eJus cogens\u003c\/i\u003e norms are at the centre of the impunity versus immunity debate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'The ratification and signing of international human rights conventions are one of the landmark achievements of the twentieth century, signalling the global necessity of respecting human dignity by protecting fundamental entitlements.
