The 2001 ILC Articles on State Responsibility: An Annotated Bibliography

In this Special Issue, commemorating the twentieth anniversary of the International Law Commission’s Draft Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts, as adopted in August 2001 (‘ILC Articles’ or ‘ARSIWA’), we curate a bibliography annotating important contributions to scholarship and literature concerning the ILC Articles. It is organized topically, including focus on attribution, elements of international breach (including acts, omissions, defences and justifications), the State–individual relationship, State responsibility for judicial acts, various redress doctrines and contributory fault. Each entry is accompanied by a few comments. This annotated bibliography aims to be useful to practitioners and scholars alike, as it presents a centralized corpus of relevant literature, reflecting the topics that have captured popular interest, while also illuminating possible gaps where further scholarly attention is needed.
