Summary/Abstract: It is possible a head of state to be held accountable for acts allegedly committed while he was in his post? To what extent a plea of immunity or nonjusticiability may be available? The article argues that neither jurisdictional immunities nor act of state are consistent with the notion of crimes of international law and that the relationship between human rights law and the law of jurisdictional immunities demands changing in the doctrines.
