Legal Framework for State Responsibility

The legal framework for state responsibility defines when a country's actions are considered unfair or illegal under international law. It explains how a state is accountable if it breaches its obligations, such as violating treaties or causing harm through acts like pollution or aggression. This framework sets out the conditions for determining liability, the consequences of breaches, and the remedies available, aiming to promote accountability, maintain peaceful relations, and ensure states act within agreed legal standards.
