New Publication: State Responsibility for Non-State Actors, Past, Present and Prospects for the Future, Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott (Author)

This book investigates how state responsibility is determined for the wrongdoing of non-state actors. People, businesses and societies pay a price for interactions between states and non-state actors. From insurrections that attempt to create new governments, to states arming belligerent proxies, to companies damaging natural environments or providing suspect services, their impact is felt in numerous ways. They also give raise to many questions relating to responsibility. In answering these, this book provides a picture of what the law governing this area is, what it could be, and what it should be in light of the past, present, and future.

Richard Mackenzie-Gray Scott is Postdoctoral Fellow at the Bonavero Institute of Human Rights and Fellow at St Antony’s College at the University of Oxford, UK.
