International Law Commission in the Articles on responsibility of States
for internationally wrongful acts, the text of which is annexed to the resolution
of the General Assembly 56/83 adopted on 12.12.2001, among the elements of internationally wrongful act indicate that such an act must be attributable to a
State under international law.
According to the general rule a State is responsible for the conduct of
any State organ. Besides, the Commission indicates the special rules of attribution
– the conduct of persons or entities exercising elements of governmental
authority; the conduct of organs placed at the disposal of a State by another
State; excess of authority or contravention of instructions; the conduct directed
or controlled by a State; the conduct carried out in the absence or default of official
authorities; the conduct of an insurrectional or other movement; the conduct
acknowledged and adopted by a State as its own.
The situations which generate a question about attribution to a State the
conduct of a person or group of persons if the person or group of persons is in
fact acting on the instructions of, or under the direction or control of, that State
in carrying out the conduct (article 8) are the most widespread and difficult in
qualification cases. The International Court of Justice (ICJ) addressed these qustions
frequently.
The article considered concepts which have been developed by the International
court thereupon in the cases concerning Military and Paramilitary
Activities in and against Nicaragua (Nicaragua v. the United States of America,
Judgment of 27 June 1986), Armed Activities on the Territory of the Congo
(Democratic Republic of the Congo v. Uganda, Judgment of 19 December
2005), Application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the
Crime of Genocide (Bosnia and Herzegovina v. Serbia and Montenegro, Judgment
of 26 February 2007).
In the case concerning Military and Paramilitary Activities in and
against Nicaragua the Court has already set fairly high threshold of participation
of the state in actions of private persons that it was possible to consider that the
given forces operate on behalf of the given state. According to the Court, it is not
enough to exercise only general control over armed groups for attribution of
their behavior to the State, it is necessary to prove actual management and the
control over concrete actions.
The Court declared that yet despite the heavy subsidies and other support
provided to the contras by the United States, there is no clear evidence of
the United States having actually exercised such a degree of control in al1 fields
as to justify treating the contras as acting on its behalf. To give rise to legal responsibility
of the United States, it would in principle have to be proved that that
State had effective control of the military or paramilitary operations in the
course of which the alleged violations were committed.
The International Court of Justice does not reject the same approach in
subsequent cases, including after well-known case IT-94-1 Prosecutor v. Tadic,
(1999), Judgment of 15th July 1999, in which the International Criminal Tribunal
on the Former Yugoslavia (ICTFY) concluded, that for the purposes of the
treatment the armed conflict in Bosnia and Herzegovina as an international
armed conflict it is enough to find that FRY had an “overall control” of Bosnian Serbs, which does not demand the edition of special orders or the instructions
concerning separate military actions.
In the case of application of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment
of the Crime of Genocide the Court rejected the arguments of ICTFY.
Considering whether the conduct of bosnian serbs carried out the act of genocide
in Srebrenica in 1995 is attributable to the FRY, the Court declares: “[I]t has to
be proved that they acted in accordance with that State’s instructions or under its
“effective control”. It must however be shown that this “effective control” was
exercised, or that the State’s instructions were given, in respect of each operation
in which the alleged violations occurred, not generally in respect of the overall
actions taken by the persons or groups of persons having committed the violations.”
This approach was exposed to criticism. The criticism has especially increased
after acts of terrorism on September, 11th, 2001 and the following US
forces attacks against Afganistan where actual government allowed that the al-
Kaide used its territory as bases for terrorists and for the organization and fulfillment
of terrorist attacks, that was regarded as a change of standards of the
concept of an armed attack in the sense of the article 51 of the Charter of the
United Nations.
In this connection it is necessary to conclude that under the influence of
state practice, Security Council decisions and other international legal agencies
activities set by the International Court of Justice strict criteria of attribution of
conduct to a state in case of armed attack of terrorists, considering exclusiveness
and an urgency of protection against such attacks, will be extended.

Abstract:
