Journal Title: Альманах міжнародного права - Year 2016, Vol 13, Issue
Abstract
The article describes the features of responsibility for the violation of international obligations under the draft articles on responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts, adopted by the International Law Commission. the nature of the offenses also analyzed and indicated that the main disadvantage is, in particular, special attention to the use of countermeasures to the States from a position of international organizations and in relation to the subsidiary responsibility of member states. International legal responsibility of States is one of the basic and oldest institutions of international law. Principle of sovereign equality is one of the guidelines in contemporary international law. Adhering to the mentioned principle the States are interacting and participating in multilateral international cooperation, having sovereignty as political and legal attribute meaning each is having supremacy within the state and is independent with regard to foreign affairs. At the same time the said principle does not mean that there is no interaction or mutual dependency of the states since none of the States can exist or develop being isolated from the rest of the world community. The mentioned principle allows a State to take any action that does not contradict the established principles and norms of international law. In case a State does not follow or breaches its obligations resulting from norms of international law, then it is absolutely logical that an issue of its responsibility to some states or world community as a whole is brought up. The principle of sovereign equality allows grouping the States into the main group of the international legal entities and, hence, international responsibility
