An Investigation of Aggravated State Responsibility

- Abstract
- In this thesis, I claim that there are two forms of state responsibility: ordinary responsibility and aggravated responsibility.

The establishment of the new articles 40 and 41 of the Draft in 2001 has been of great importance for the development of aggravated responsibility. According to my opinion violations of fundamental values, such as peace and human rights, should be seen as more serious breaches than other infringements and should therefore be responded to differently than breaches regarding ordinary responsibility. I find it clear that there is a need for aggravated responsibility in present international law. (Less)
