Abstract
Willem Riphagen's suggestions took the form of a draft article on State responsibility which was provisionally adopted by the Commission in 1983, subjecting the legal consequences of an internationally wrongful act to the provisions and procedures of the United Nation (UN) Charter relating to the maintenance of international peace and security. The difficulties affecting the relationship between the UN system of collective security and the regime of the legal consequences of grave breaches of international law reemerged when the Commission entered the second and final reading of the draft on State responsibility. In the context of the articles on State responsibility, the main concern was to control the impact of decisions adopted by the Security Council under chapter VII of the Charter on questions of State responsibility and on the determination of legal rights and secondary obligations of States. Keywords: international law; legal rights; State responsibility; United Nation (UN) Charter; Willem Riphagen
