Abstract: At its fifty-ninth session, in 2007, the UN International Law Commission (ILC) decided to include the topic “Immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction” in its current programme of work. Since then, two Special Rapporteurs have been successively appointed – Mr. Román A. Kolodkin and Mrs. Concepción Escobar Hernández. This paper presents mainly the views related to the exceptions to immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction, as they are reflected in the Special Rapporteurs` reports and the work of the Commission.

Key-words: Exceptions to immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction; International Law Commission; International crimes.
