From the Publisher
"...Crawford has combined his unique insight and experience with a valuable collection of primary sources and analytical tools to produce an indispensable guide not only the ILC articles, but to the foundational area of state responsibility in general." The American Journal of International Law"Researchers will appreciate the well-constructed index, which indexes more than thirty concepts under the heading 'Words and Phrases Defined.' Its detailed listings permit readers to zero in on concepts such as continuing wrongful acts, invocation of responsibility, and collective obligations. In short, although researchers have Web access to much of the primary material in this book, its added features make it a worthwhile purchase for libraries with international law interests."
