المفهوم القانوني والسياسي لرئيس الدولة في إطار القانون الدولي

Abstract EN

As we all know every country has a president, and the head of state is the symbol of the country’s strength, and he is the person who represents the country internally and externally, and this representation is decided for him and has nothing to do with authority.

The country's political system, therefore, the power of the head of state increases with the increase in state functions, and these powers that the president possesses become real and honorary powers as they were before.

The head of state becomes a nominal member of his country and expresses his country's will in the international community.

He has the ability to act on behalf of his country in the field of international relations.

He is the one who sends ambassadors to his country, he is the one who receives the credentials of foreign ambassadors, he is the one who concludes treaties and manages everything.

Therefore, the actions he has taken are recognized in international law and he enjoys a series of privileges and immunities that protect him from any attack.

Accordingly, in this study we will discuss the criminal protection that heads of state enjoy under international law and its rules.
