Jurisdictional Immunities of the State (Germany v. Italy: Greece Intervening) | 2012 I.C.J. 99 Does sovereign immunity apply even if a country committed human rights violations? In a case known as Germany versus Italy, the International Court of Justice answered this question when victims sued Germany for crimes it committed abroad during World War Two. Germany committed numerous atrocities in foreign countries during World War Two, including imprisoning and murdering civilians and transporting military prisoners to Germany for forced labor. Many Italian citizens who were victims of these crimes sued Germany in Italian courts. One such case was brought by Luigi Ferrini, an Italian citizen who was deported to Germany and forced to work in a munitions factory until the end of the war. Ferrini’s case made its way through the Italian legal system, and ultimately, the Court of Appeal of Florence held that Ferrini could recover damages from Germany. The Italian court held that sovereign immunity can’t be invoked by a country if the country committed human rights violations. Other courts in Italy, as well as Greek courts that were presented with similar cases, reached the same outcome and allowed citizens to bring civil claims against Germany. Greece became an intervening party in this case once Italy declared that the Greek judgments against Germany could be enforced in Italy. Italy allowed Greek claimants to place a type of lien on a German government-owned property in Italy, known as Villa Vigoni. Germany filed an application with the International Court of Justice to dismiss the judgments from Italy, claiming that the Italian courts failed to respect Germany’s sovereign immunity.
