摘要

國際法院在國際刑事逮捕令案的判決中，對外交部長外交豁免的法律規定所涉及到的爭點如下：首先，沒有區分官方身分的豁免與個人豁免。其次，亦未提到在涉及國際罪行的情況下，可否解除豁免的議題。再者，國際法院未對該爭端在普遍司法管轄權的概念下可否受理的議題發表結論。本研究在探討國際刑事逮捕令案發生之後，在國際法上對外交豁免爭辯的啟示。本文同意部份法官的意見，認為國際法院應該先處理普遍管轄權的問題，這才是解決該等爭辯的關鍵。

The judgment of the International Court of Justice's Arrest Warrant Case attracts the following questions regarding Foreign Minister's diplomatic immunity: First, there is no distinction between official immunity and personal immunity. Second, the Court did not mention whether immunity can be invoked if one is involved in international crimes. Third, the Court does not comment on whether the dispute can be considered under the concept of universal jurisdiction. This study aims to discuss international legal implications on debates concerning diplomatic immunity after the Arrest Warrant case. It concurs with some Judges' individual opinions, and argues that the question of universal jurisdiction should be decided first, that is the key issue within the scope of the debate.
