State responsibility for the conduct of state organs in international law

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to describe briefly the issue of state responsibility in international law, with a special analysis of the situation of state responsibility for the conduct of state organs. This writing is an introduction to the study of international responsibility of states. In this work I tried to describe the shape of the subject in a general manner. I discussed also the problems of attribution of conduct of states organs to the state. I have tried to correlate the work of International Law Commission on state responsibility with the issue of authority.

I exposed a critique of an author on the conception of state responsibility adopted by the ILC.

The classic hypothesis in which the state responsibility is engaged it is for the conduct of it`s organs. I explained the meaning of the term organ in accordance with the view of ILC.

In the end I attempted to make a connection of the ILC drafts on state responsibility for internationally wrongful acts and the three types of law described by Georg Schwarzenberger. Ideal types of law that could enable us to understand better a legal system.
