Description: In the wake of the adoption by the International Law Commission of a complete set of articles on state responsibility in international law in 2001, this collection assembles a number of essays tracing key debates which have marked the evolution of this field over the last fifty years.
Review Quotes: 'The final adoption in 2001 of the ILC's Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts makes this collection of essays even more relevant. Â It canvasses a range of the concerns and issues that confronted the ILC, and does so in an interesting and historically informed way.'
