Editing Sovereign immunity (section)

==Forms==
There are two forms of sovereign immunity:

* immunity from suit (also known as immunity from jurisdiction or [[adjudication]])
* immunity from enforcement.

Immunity from suit means that neither a sovereign/head of state in person nor any ''[[Trial in absentia|in absentia]]'' or representative form (nor to a lesser extent the state) can be a defendant or subject of court proceedings, nor in most equivalent forums such as under arbitration awards and tribunal awards/damages.

Immunity from enforcement means that even if a person succeeds in any way against their sovereign or state, they and the judgment may find themselves without means of enforcement. [[Separation of powers]] or [[natural justice]] coupled with a political status other than a [[totalitarian]] state dictates there be broad exceptions to immunity such as statutes which expressly bind the state (a prime example being [[constitutional law]]s) and [[judicial review]].
