In a recent post, I discussed some key design attributes of safe harbors and immunities.
It not only trumped the ex post facto issue, I thought, but the basic immunities of absolute sovereignty.
America has even threatened to pull out its troops from international peacekeeping operations unless across-the-board immunities are granted.
In 1976, Congress passed the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act (FSIA), which effectively codified the restrictive view of sovereign immunity.
Not easy in a world so littered with commercials, press releases and junk mail that consumers are developing immunities to messages.
The Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act usually crops up in very different cases.
If not for the immunities granted by Sec. 230, online speech and commerce would have been severely stifled because of the threat of legal action.
With nationalisation, concluded Judge Paul Gardephe, Anglo Irish had become exempt from American jurisdiction because of a curious legal doctrine called the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act.
Although unions have gained some recognition rights and a minimum wage, Tony Blair's Labour party has made it clear that there will be no return to the legal immunities that they enjoyed before 1980.
There is, however, a Constitutional right not to be deprived of the same privileges and immunities as everyone else in the country under the 14th Amendment to the Constitution and under state Constitutional provisions.
And of course, the principle at stake at the U.N. was really important, and that is the safety and security of diplomats around the world, and countries meeting what is an absolutely fundamental diplomatic obligation -- and that is to respect the privileges and immunities and safety of the diplomats around the world from civilized countries.
