Liability of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts
Liability of states for internationally wrongful acts refers to the legal responsibility a country has if it violates international law. When a state commits an act that breaches its international obligations—such as violating treaties, infringing on other countries’ rights, or causing harm— it can be held accountable and required to make reparations or remedies. This principle ensures that states abide by international rules and that affected parties have a means to seek justice for wrongful actions on the global stage.
