"This monograph examines the international law applicable when determining state responsibility for non-state actor conduct. Covering all rules, both on direct and indirect, it shows why this distinction is significant from a practical and conceptual perspective. It challenges received wisdom regarding customary international law and the application of certain rules in practice. By showing and scrutinising the laws that govern state responsibility for non-state actors, it provides a comprehensive picture of what this law is, what it could be, and what it should be. Not limiting its approach to a purely doctrinal one, it also draws on comparative, empirical and theoretical methodologies to show how the law might be better developed to address future challenges."--
