Summary
This chapter explores another pillar of public international law: responsibility for internationally wrongful acts. In doing so, it examines how rules of international responsibility, especially those regarding the responsibility of international organizations, have been influenced by the unique nature of the EU and the EU legal order. The chapter begins by discussing and framing the debate about the responsibility of international organizations (Section 6.3). It briefly discusses some of the unique features of the EU legal order that may require the law of responsibility to be ‘adapted’ in the EU context.
