Abstract

The responsibility of international organizations for internationally wrongful acts is a complex issue of international law – a situation that was meant to be changed by the Articles on the Responsibility of International Organisations (ARIO, 2011). Yet the status of the ARIO remains disputed in theory and practice: it is difficult to say whether it qualifies as customary law or rather the progressive development of the law. This paper outlines some of the most important conceptual frameworks regarding this subject, providing insight into the corresponding questions of interpretation.
