SOME REMARKS ON THE SCOPE OF IMMUNITY OF FOREIGN STATE OFFICIALS IN THE LIGHT OF RECENT JUDGMENTS OF ITALIAN COURTS p aolo p al Chetti 1. i nt Rodu Ction Among the judgments handed down in the last ten years by Italian courts on the question of immunity of State officials from foreign criminal jurisdiction, the judg - ments in the Djukanovic and Lozano cases are those which have attracted most at- tention. The first case originated out of an arrest warrant issued by the prosecutor’s office at the Tribunal of Naples against the President of the Republic of Montenegro – at the time a member State of the Federation of Serbia and Montenegro. The core issue that the Corte di Cassazione had been called upon to decide was whether the president of a member State of a federation enjoyed personal immunity. In the Lozano case, a US soldier had been charged by an Italian prosecutor with volun- tary homicide for the killing of an Italian intelligence officer which took place at a checkpoint outside Baghdad airport. In this case the question at issue was mainly whether, under customary international law, Mr. Lozano enjoyed immunity from foreign criminal jurisdiction
