Abstract

Akin to the torts and civil wrongs committed by individuals against each other in a domestic society, which can result in the wrongdoers being held responsible for their actions, States are also responsible for any international wrongful acts they may have committed against other States. Under international law, States are responsible to each other for the violation of international law and non-observance of the obligations imposed by international law. A State may incur liability if it violates a rule of customary international law, ignores its obligation under a treaty,1 or causes injury to nationals of other State or their property. In other words, a breach of an international obligation is an international wrong that entails responsibility.2 Basically, the law of State responsibility concerns itself with the determination of whether there is a “wrongful act” attributable to the State, whether such wrongful act constitutes a “breach of an international legal obligation” in force for that State, whether there is any “justification” for such wrongful act of that State, and whether there is any “legal consequence” of such wrongful act
