Publishing book “Responsibility of States for International Delicts” by Konstantin Obradovic

December 21, 2000

Donor: Belgrade Centre for Human Rights

Duration of the project: September – December 2000

The Responsibility of States for International Delicts study written by Konstantin-Kosta Obradović towards the end of the seventies, but only published now in the year 2000 by the Belgrade Centre for Human Rights, forms part of his rich academic and publishing legacy that represents an invaluable part of Serbian international law theory.  From today’s standpoint, it is difficult to explain and to justify why this study was not published much earlier by the Institute for International Politics and Economics.  The study was the result of the author’s systematic examination of the issue of state responsibility as part of his work for the UN International Law Commission and its codification of this aspect of international law.
