State Responsibility in International Law

States play a crucial role in international law. While countries are not the only actors in international law with legal standing, they are the main actors of international law, thus having various rights and obligations. One of the main responsibilities of states in international law is the obligation of adhering to the mandates of international law. States that are actors in a given international law are expected to be accountable for their actions by conforming to a given international law’s mandates. The lack thereof accountability or conformance may incur international legal action. Therefore, states’ main responsibility as actors of international law is conforming to the principle of state accountability and responsibility. In doing so, the state ensures that it does not violate international law and its mandates.u00a0
