Abstract
This chapter examines the significance of the work of the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal ("Tribunal") for secondary rules of State Responsibility that apply regardless of the specific norm (primary rule) allegedly breached, what I will term "trans-substantive" rules or principles. Practically speaking, such an examination entails the analysis of the jurisprudence of the Tribunal as regards attribution because it is primarily this trans-substantive set of rules that the Tribunal was led to address.
