Ragazzi (a former Senior Counsel specializing in international law at the World Bank) brings together different legal perspectives on the responsibility of international organizations from the bench, the International Law Commission, academia, and in-house counsels to international organizations. Thirty-four papers are organized into sections discussing: international organizations' responsibility between codification and progressive development; the International Law Commission's approach to state responsibility and the responsibility of international organizations; the particular perspectives of the United Nations, international financial institutions, and other international entities; and selected issues associated with member state responsibility, responsibility and the courts, countermeasures, and use of force/peacekeeping operations.
