Machine summary:
2 Given that, on one hand, there is little practice regarding the responsibility of international organizations arising from aid or assistance in the commission of an internationally wrongful act, and on the other hand, it does not seem that the nature and characteristics of international legal personality have an effect on the inclusion of this case of derivative responsibility, the International Law Commission has included Article 14 in the 2011 Draft with only very minor changes to Article 16, which is appropriate for the scope of an international organization, and most of the explanations provided regarding State responsibility for aid or assistance can also be applied to the responsibility of international organizations.
) of this set, but this should not be considered as a lack of coherence in the International Law Commission's work; because when it comes to the category of evasion of international obligations through making a decision, given the provisions of Article 17, especially the lack of necessity for the act to be wrongful for member States or organizations, this relationship is a very minor overlap, and if an overlap occurs between Articles 16 and 17, the organization can be held responsible either according to Article 16 or responsibility can be established by relying on Article 17.
