This research addresses a complex issue in international law: the responsibility arising from "complicity," defined as a state providing aid and assistance to another state or entity to commit acts that violate international law. This encompasses not only direct wrongful acts but also the covert or secondary role a state may play by providing aid or assistance to another state or non-state actors, enabling them to commit internationally wrongful acts. The study outlines the conditions necessary for establishing international responsibility and examines judicial applications that demonstrate how international courts interpret Article 16 and other provisions related to the prohibition of aiding and abetting internationally wrongful acts.
