This comprehensive book delves into the intricate realm of State responsibility and attribution in the context of civil wars and rebellions, with a specific focus on the actions of both rebels and governments. Drawing upon a thorough analysis of both historical and contemporary State practice, as well as extensive case law, including investment awards, and the works of scholars and the International Law Commission, the book identifies ten fundamental rules that can be employed by States and international tribunals. It provides a detailed explanation of the historical background, content, and scope of application of the specific solutions adopted in Article 10 of the International Law Commission Articles on State responsibility, which address particular problems. Moreover, the book critically examines some of the solutions proposed by tribunals and scholars and raises important questions that have hitherto gone unanswered. By exploring these complex issues, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving dynamics of State responsibility and attribution in the context of civil wars and rebellions.
