Max Planck Lecture Series
Crippling Compensation in the Law of State Responsibility
Monday, 21 June 2021, 16:00 - 18:00 CET
The obligation of States to provide full reparation for internationally wrongful acts, including by full compensation, is one of the bedrock principles of international law. In his lecture, Prof. Paparinskis will challenge this principle for cases where compensation is crippling for the responsible State or its peoples, which can occur when State responsibility is implemented before international courts and tribunals. His argumentation will be discussed by Prof. van Aacken.
