AIZENSTATD LEISTENSCHNEIDER, Najman Alexander. The International Responsibility of States for Unlawful Acts, International Crimes and Transboundary Damage. Anu. Mex. Der. Inter [online]. 2012, vol.12, pp.3-23. ISSN 1870-4654.

The article aims to explain the scope of international responsibility of the State in relation to their involvement in acts prohibited by international law as international crimes, and acts that are legally permissible though, cause or could cause damage to the territory or population of other States. We discuss different types of State responsibility that are still in formative stage. It discusses the conventional and jurisprudential developments. It explains the assumptions that give rise to international responsibility and the consequences of these. We defend the distinction between international crimes and illegal acts and argued that the consequences of each other must also be different, why it is essential to its development and codification of international law.
