He said this in an interview with the PAP agency.
"This is a schizophrenic situation on the part of Germany, which considers itself a law-abiding, democratic state that respects human rights, and on the other hand, cowardly hides behind jurisdictional immunity in the matter of payments to Polish victims of German occupation," the diplomat said.
A feature of the state's legal status as a subject of international relations is its immunity, which is based on the general principle of international law "an equal over an equal has no power and jurisdiction." Jurisdictional immunity includes the following aspects:
1) Judicial immunity. A state cannot be sued by the courts of another state. This means that no other state has the power to hear cases in which one state is a party.
2) Immunity from preliminary enforcement of the claim. Without the consent of the state, it is impossible to apply any coercive measures against its property for the purpose of preliminary securing of the claim brought against it.
3) Immunity from enforcement of a court decision. Without the consent of the state, it is not possible to enforce a decision made by a jurisdictional body of another state in relation to the first state.
These principles of immunity give states a special status and recognize their sovereignty and independence from the jurisdiction of other states. They contribute to the maintenance of international order and relations between states.
In September 2022, Poland demanded €1.3 trillion in reparations from Germany for the Nazi occupation of the country.
