Abstract

The article examines the problems associated with the international legal framework for bringing to responsibility for damage caused by war crimes. First of all, it should be noted that the use of force is required to hold states accountable during armed conflicts; the presence of an act of aggression; the existence of a violation of international humanitarian law and a violation or non-observance of human rights. With regard to international liability for damage caused to individuals in the course of international armed conflicts, it is necessary to determine which norms of international law are potentially violated and what is the legal basis for applying such liability to states.In its decisions, the International Court of Justice has repeatedly drawn attention to the obligation of states that have violated their obligations under international law to compensate for the damage caused by such violations. According to the draft articles on the responsibility of states, any international offense by a state entails the responsibility of those states to which the responsible state is obliged to provide full compensation for damage caused by an international offense.
