There is an internationally wrongful act of a State when conduct consisting of an action or omission

A different scenario would exist if the mandated conduct necessarily implied the commission of a wrongful act.

(a) The conduct that the responsible State should take in order to cease the wrongful act, if it is continuing

According to article 17 on State responsibility, conduct is required to be wrongful both for the organization which directs and controls and for the organization and State whose conduct is directed and controlled.

The degree of responsibility of the organization should be much less if the State's wrongful conduct was only authorized, but not requested, by the organization.

The case of the breach of an obligation to achieve a certain result appears to imply the possibility of an exception to the general principle, which was stated in draft article 3, that an internationally wrongful act presupposes an organization's wrongful conduct.

the term controls' refers to cases of domination over the commission of wrongful conduct and not simply the exercise of oversight, still less mere influence or concern.

Recite what has been revealed to you of the Book , and maintain the prayer . Indeed the prayer restrains from indecent and wrongful conduct , and the remembrance of Allah is surely greater .

Chapter IV of part one of the draft articles on responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts envisages certain instances in which a State is held responsible for conduct attributable to another State.

This would be a case in which the international organization's request had not called for the wrongful conduct in which the member State had engaged (statement by the Russian Federation, A C.6 59 SR.

Responsibility of States for internationally wrongful acts

The internationally wrongful act of a State

Legal consequences of an internationally wrongful act

The assumption is that the State or international organization which is the addressee of the decision is not given discretion to take conduct that, while complying with the decision, would not constitute an internationally wrongful act.

In this case, the conduct of member States would not per se be wrongful under the treaty it would only be the occasion for the organization to comply with its obligation or fail to do so.

This means that other States often have to take action against parties with little or no understanding of what wrongful conduct occurred (or is occurring), hampering any national investigative or enforcement actions they might wish to take.

Characterization of an act of a State as internationally wrongful

Where several States are injured by the same internationally wrongful act, each injured State may separately invoke the responsibility of the State which has committed the internationally wrongful act.

A further case in which the allegedly wrongful conduct was mandated by an international organization, but the organization's responsibility is unlikely to be examined, is given by proceedings pending before the Council of the International Civil Aviation Organization over noise standards for aircraft.
