Dinah Shelton in American Journal of International Law, vol. 96,
(Oct. 2002): 833-856.

This article examines the International Law Commission’s Draft Articles on Responsibility of States for Wrongful Acts, as they codify and progressively develop the international law of remedies. The essay begins with a review of the traditional law and practice concerning
reparations and proceeds to an overview of the content of the relevant articles. Shelton examines progressive measures designed to restore and maintain the international rule of law and then more conservative rules designed to provide remedial justice for a state
or states, highlighting the different, sometimes inconsistent approaches to the two parts.
