The course provides an in-depth study of the Law of State Responsibility. The first part of the course is devoted to the analysis of the Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts developed by the International Law Commission (ILC). After conceptualising State Responsibility, topics of attribution of the wrongful conduct and circumstances precluding wrongfulness will be discussed.
The second part of the course will focus on the responsibility of International Organizations as well as the most recent developments in the field, namely, the work of the ILC on the new Draft Articles on Succession of States in respect of State responsibility.
