Conduct of organs of a State Clause Samples

The 'Conduct of organs of a State' clause defines that the actions and decisions of any governmental body, agency, or official are legally considered actions of the State itself. This means that whether a ministry, department, or official acts within their authority or even exceeds it, their conduct is attributed to the State for purposes of legal responsibility. The core function of this clause is to ensure that States cannot evade liability by claiming that wrongful acts were committed by individual officials rather than the State as a whole, thereby promoting accountability in international law.
Conduct of organs of a State. The conduct of any State organ shall be considered an act of that State under international law, whether that organ exercises legislative, executive, judicial or any other functions, whatever position it holds in the organization of the State, and whatever its character as an organ of the central Government or of a territorial unit of the State. An organ includes any person or entity which has that status in accordance with the internal law of the State.

The conduct of any State organ shall be considered an act of that State under international law, whether the organ exercises legislative, executive, judicial or any other functions, whatever position it holds in the organization of the State, and whatever its character as an organ of the central Government or of a territorial unit of the State. 2. An organ includes any person or entity which has that status in accordance with the internal law of the State. (A) Any state organ, whether they have separate legal personality or not There is no category of organs specially designated for the commission of internationally wrongful acts, and virtually any State organ may be the author of such an act. State organ is not defined. It is a matter of domestic law. Although organs of state do not have international legal personality, their conduct may engage state responsibility.
