Artikel 8
Verdrag van de Verenigde Naties inzake de immuniteit van rechtsmacht van staten en hun eigendommen
1. A State cannot invoke immunity from jurisdiction in a proceeding before a court of another State if it has:
a) itself instituted the proceeding; or
b) intervened in the proceeding or taken any other step relating to the merits. However, if the State satisfies the court that it could not have acquired knowledge of facts on which a claim to immunity can be based until after it took such a step, it can claim immunity based on those facts, provided it does so at the earliest possible moment.
2. A State shall not be considered to have consented to the exercise of jurisdiction by a court of another State if it intervenes in a proceeding or takes any other step for the sole purpose of:
a) invoking immunity; or
b) asserting a right or interest in property at issue in the proceeding.
3. The appearance of a representative of a State before a court of another State as a witness shall not be interpreted as consent by the former State to the exercise of jurisdiction by the court.
4. Failure on the part of a State to enter an appearance in a proceeding before a court of another State shall not be interpreted as consent by the former State to the exercise of jurisdiction by the court.
