International Law-Jurisdictional Immunity Of United Nations Employees-The Gubitchev Case, Melvin J. Spencer S.Ed.
Michigan Law Review
Diplomatic officers are immune from the criminal jurisdiction of the receiving state under well-recognized principles of customary international law, which principles are said to be a part of the law of the United States. As international organizations developed, certain privileges and immunities were given to their personnel by treaties or agreements and it appeared that by common consent of the family of nations their right to immunities might also come to be recognized as a principle of the law of nations.

International Law-Legal Capacity Of The United Nations-Assertion Of Claim In Behalf Of Its Agents, Paul E. Anderson S. Ed.
Michigan Law Review
In a decision handed down April 11, 1949, the court unanimously answered question I(a) (Can the United Nations sue for damages done to itself?) affirmatively. Question I(b) (Can the United Nations sue for damages done to its agents?) was also answered in the affirmative, but over the dissent of four judges. On question II, the majority of the court asserted that a conflict between the agent's national state and the United Nations would be avoided because the United Nations would be claiming only for breach of the obligation due to it.
