What is the current state immunity granted to the Canadian government by the International Court of Justice?
Canada (Federal), Canada
The following excerpt is from Kazemi Estate v. Islamic Republic of Iran, [2014] 3 SCR 176, 2014 SCC 62 (CanLII):
Two other justifications for state immunity are comity and reciprocity (Forcese, at p. 135; Al-Adsani v. United Kingdom (2001), 34 E.H.R.R. 273, at para. 54). Just as foreign states do not want to have their executive, legislative or public actions called into judgment in Canadian courts, so too Canada would prefer to avoid having to defend its actions and policies before foreign courts.
