3. Art. 23: ‘1. A State may give its consent in writing, in a multilateral or bilateral treaty or in an agreement or contract concluded by it or by one of its agencies with a foreign person, natural or juridical, not to invoke State immunity in respect of State property, or property in its possession or control or in which it has an interest, from attachment, arrest and execution, provided that the property in question, movable or immovable, intellectual or industrial:

(a) forms part of a commercial transaction or is used in connection with commercial activities, or is otherwise in use for non-public purposes unconnected with the exercise of governmental authority of the State; and (b) is identified as being situated in the territory of the State of the forum. 2. The effect of paragraph 1 is further limited by the provisions of Art. 24’.

Art. 24: ‘1. Notwithstanding Art. 23 and regardless of consent or waiver of immunity, the following property may not be attached, arrested or otherwise taken in forced execution of the final judgment by a court of another State: (a) property used or intended for use for diplomatic or consular purposes or for the purposes of special missions or representation of States in their relations with international organizations of universal character internationally protected by inviolability; or (b) property of a military character, or used or intended for use for military purposes, or owned or managed by the military authority or defence agency of the State; or (c) property of a central bank held by it for central banking purposes and not allocated for any specified payments; or (d) property of a State monetary authority held by it for monetary and noncommercial purposes and not specifically earmarked for payments of judgment or any other debts; or (e) property forming part of the national archives of a State or of its distinct national cultural heritage. 2. Nothing in paragraph 1 shall prevent a State from undertaking to give effect to the judgment of a court of another State, or from consenting to the attachment, arrest or execution of property other than the types listed in paragraph 1’.

Art. 28: ‘A State may restrict or extend with respect to another State the immunities and privileges provided for in the present Articles to the extent that appears to it to be appropriate for reasons of reciprocity, or conformity with the standard practice of that other State, or the necessity for subsequent readjustments required by treaty, convention or other international agreement applicable between them.’

6. Art. 6: A State enjoys immunity, in respect of itself and its property, from the jurisdiction of the courts of another State subject to the provisions of the present Articles [and the relevant rules of general international law]’.

7. Art. 28, para. 2(a): ‘However, discrimination shall not be regarded as taking place: (a) where the State of the forum applies any of the provisions of the present Art.s restrictively because of a restrictive application of that provision by the other State concerned;’

8. Art. 21: ‘A State enjoys immunity, in connection with a proceeding before a court of another State, from measures of constraint, including any measure of attachment, arrest and execution, on the use of its property or property in its possession or control [or property in which it has a legally protected interest] unless the property: (a) is specifically in use or intended for use by the State for commercial [non-governmental] purposes and has a connection with the object of the claim, or with the agency or instrumentality against which the proceeding was directed; or (b) has been allocated or earmarked by the State for the satisfaction of the claim which is the object of that proceeding’.
