Abstract

On 26 February 2007, the International Court of Justice delivered a judgment without any precedent. For the first time in the history of international adjudication, a sovereign State was condemned on the basis of the 1948 Genocide Convention. The debatable analysis and qualification of the pertinent facts as they were led by the Court in this case are to be seen in connection with applicable rules of State responsibility, these governing the identification of its origin as well as these dealing with the attribution of wrongful acts to the State. Satisfaction is confirmed to be the appropriate mode of reparation in such a type of cases.

Keywords: International Court of Justice, state responsibility, genocide
