Recenzje

’The final adoption in 2001 of the ILC's Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts makes this collection of essays even more relevant.  It canvasses a range of the concerns and issues that confronted the ILC, and does so in an interesting and historically informed way.’ James Crawford, Whewell Professor of International Law, University of Cambridge. Director Lauterpacht Research Centre for International Law, Cambridge, UK
