6. člen
Privilegiji in imunitete so sodnikom podeljeni, da bi zagotovili neodvisno opravljanje njihovih funkcij in ne zaradi njihovih osebnih koristi. Sodišče bo imelo pravico, da med plenarnim zasedanjem odvzame imuniteto sodnikom; to ni le njegova pravica, ampak je njegova dolžnost v vsakem primeru, ko bi po njegovem mnenju imuniteta lahko ovirala uresničevanje načela zakonitosti, in kadar jo je mogoče odvzeti brez škode za namen, zaradi katerega je bila podeljena.
7. člen
1. Določbe 2. in 5. člena tega protokola bodo veljale za registratorja Sodišča in za namestnika registratorja, kadar deluje v njegovi funkciji, brez škode za vse privilegije in imunitete, do katerih sta upravičena po 18. členu Splošnega sporazuma o privilegijih in imunitetah Sveta Evrope.
2. Določbe 18. člena Splošnega sporazuma o privilegijih in imunitetah Sveta Evrope veljajo za namestnika registratorja Sodišča za njegovo delo, kadar ne nastopa kot registrator.
3. Privilegiji in imunitete, na katere se nanašata 1. in 2. odstavek tega člena, so podeljeni registratorju in njegovemu namestniku zaradi lažjega izpolnjevanja njunih dolžnosti in ne zaradi njunih osebnih koristi. Samo Sodišče ima pravico, da med plenarnim zasedanjem odvzame imuniteto svojemu registratorju in njegovemu namestniku; to ni le njegova pravica, ampak tudi dolžnost, da odvzame tako imuniteto v vsakem primeru, ko bi po njegovem mnenju ta imuniteta ovirala uresničevanje načela zakonitosti, in kadar jo je moč odvzeti brez škode glede na namen, zaradi katerega je bila podeljena.
8. člen
1. Vsaka država lahko ob podpisu brez pridržka glede ratifikacije, ob ratifikaciji ali kadar koli kasneje z obvestilom, naslovljenim na generalnega sekretarja Sveta Evrope, izjavi, da bo veljavnost tega protokola razširila na vsa ali na nekatera ozemlja, za katerih mednarodne povezave je odgovorna in kjer se v skladu s 63. členom Konvencije o varstvu človekovih pravic in temeljnih svoboščin omenjena konvencija uporablja.
