The international joint commission bas historically possessed the characteristics of an international organization; by reason of the capacities that it exercises, it has a certain measure of international personality; and, consequently, on the municipal plane, it has the capacity to be sued. It is therefore necessary, on the principle of effectiveness, that the Commission and its employees be immune from suit. In the United States, the Commission and its employees were granted immunities in 1948. In Canada, the Commission alone was granted immunities in 1976. It will be argued here that immunities should now also be granted to all commissioners, staff, and experts in Canada, in view of the standing of the Commission as an international organization possessing international personality, with consequences for municipal law.

What are the theoretical and practical issues relating to the intersection between domestic and international law? This important new book discusses how general theories, including monism and dualism, transpire in practice. The author examines several key areas: the rules relating to treaty making and the ratification of treatises, the doctrine of automatic incorporation and transformation, the direct effect of international norms in the domestic system, and a discussion of the principle of consistent interpretation. With a focus on the European Convention on Human Rights, the author concludes that, although traditional theories are still relevant, they fall short in grasping the complexity of the different ways in which the legislator and the courts have given effect to international law on the domestic level.
