5 State 280 PART FOUR GENERAL PROVISIONS article 55 Lex specialis 281 article 56 Questions of State responsibility not regulated by these ARTICLES 286 article 57 responsibility of an international organization 287 article 58 Individual responsibility 288 article 59 Charter of the United Nations 289 iv THE IMPACT OF THE ILC S ARTICLES ON responsibility OF STATES FOR INTERNATIONALLY WRONGFUL ACTS PRELIMINARY DRAFT Foreword This is the preliminary draft of the outcome of a study carried out for the British Institute of International and Comparative Law.

6 The study is aimed at providing a portrayal of the IMPACT and influence of the ARTICLES on the responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts ( the ARTICLES ), since their adoption on second reading by the International Law Commission in 2001. This preliminary draft is being circulated for information in advance of the debate to take place during the 62nd session of the General Assembly as to whether any further action should be taken in relation to the ARTICLES ,1 and in particular as to whether a diplomatic conference should be convened in order to transform the ARTICLES into a multilateral convention on State responsibility .

7 As mandated by the terms of General Assembly Resolution 59/35, the UN Secretariat produced a compilation of express references to the ARTICLES and their Commentaries in international judicial Although there is inevitably some overlap with the Secretariat compilation, the present study has a scope which is materially wider:3 first, it includes references to the ARTICLES made in the separate or dissenting opinions of judges of both the International Court of Justice and other bodies; second, it aims to provide a greater amount of context to instances of express reference, so as to provide a better understanding of the circumstances in which reference has been made to the ARTICLES ; third, it aims to provide some comment upon, and where appropriate, criticism of, the way in which the ARTICLES have been applied in specific instances; fourth, it includes the most important instances of reliance on the ARTICLES by domestic courts.

8 However, most importantly, the study aims to provide a survey not only of express references to the ARTICLES , but also to the most important judicial pronouncements (in particular those of the International Court of Justice) which, although made without express reference to the ARTICLES , are relevant to matters falling within their subject matter and which are therefore relevant to an assessment of the IMPACT of the ARTICLES since their adoption. The present study therefore aims to catalogue the major instances of relevant judicial and arbitral practice in relation to the international law of State responsibility between 9 August 2001, the date of completion of the ILC s work on the topic of State responsibility , and 10 October 2007, and in 1 For the General Assembly s previous action in this regard, see General Assembly Resolution 56/83 (2001) and General Assembly Resolution 59/35 (2004).
