Abstract EN
The subject of state responsibility occupies a central place in international law.
Its basic principle, now well established, provides that every internationally wrongful act entails the responsibility of the state.
One of the most controversial problems regarding the international responsibility of the state for wrongful acts concerns the nature of such responsibility.
The present paper examines the nature of state responsibility for international wrongful acts under existing international law.
It takes the view that the international law commission (ILC), in its draft articles on state responsibility can be applied in case of breach of any international obligations by states because there is no international convention regarding state responsibility on the international plane.
Finally, the study concludes that the identification of the nature of the state responsibility seems to be much more complicated since ILC’s articles do not explicitly address the issue of whether responsibility of state for wrongful act or omission is strict liability (objective theory) or there must be some fault (subjective theory) in the conduct of state in order to hold responsibility; customary international law to some extent does not help in filling the gap exists in ILC’s draft articles on state responsibility with regard to objective and subjective theories because it supports both theories.
