Responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts

A new volume of the UN Legislative Series has been issued: Materials on the responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts (ST/LEG/SER.B/25).  This volume gathers together previously published material in one convenient place.

The International Law Commission (ILC) began work on this topic in 1954 and completed its work in 2001, with the adoption of the Draft articles on responsibility of states for internationally wrongful acts.

In addition to reproducing the text of the articles with commentaries, the publication includes a compilation of decisions of international courts and tribunals (1973-2010) that refer to the articles and commentaries.  The relevant part of the decision is published, with a brief description of the context.  

For each extract, citation is given to the previous reports of the Secretary-General that compiled the decisions:
