Vladyslav Lanovoy Complicity Paperback sku-763649756

Vladyslav Lanovoy's paperback, Studies in International Law: Complicity and its Limits in the Law of International Responsibility, examines the responsibility of states and international organizations that aid or assist an internationally wrongful act.

Although the International Court of Justice has recognized responsibility for complicity as a rule of customary international law, the book argues that systemic and operational limits affect its usefulness. It examines unclear constituent elements, the rule's coexistence with primary prohibitions on complicity and due diligence obligations, implementation and causal tests, its uncertain relationship to other forms of shared and indirect responsibility, and its potential use in attributing conduct.

The book argues that the content and elements of this responsibility need adjustment to address complicity in international affairs. It was awarded the Paul Guggenheim Prize in International Law in 2017. Listed under Constitutional Law Books. SKU: sku-763649756.
