The International Law Commission's Articles on State Responsibility by James Crawford
In 2001 the International Law Commission completed its work on State responsibility, begun 40 years previously. The Articles on Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts marks a major step in the codification and progressive development of international law, comparable in significance to the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties. The Articles cover such topics as attributing conduct to the State; defining when there has been a breach of international law and the excuses or justifications for breaches; reparation for injustices, the invocation of responsibility, especially standing of States in the public interest, and the rules relating to countermeasures. The Articles develop basic concepts of international law, in particular peremptory norms and obligations to the international community as a whole. They signal definitively how international law has moved away from a purely bilateral conception of responsibility to accommodate categories of general public interest (human rights, the environment etc.).Jim Crawford is a Deputy Chief and Fire Marshal for the city of Vancouver, Washington, where he is responsible for business planning, code enforcement, plan approval, fire investigation, and public education. Before arriving to Vancouver, Crawford worked as a Fire Marshal in Portland, Oregon. Crawford has more than 34 years of experience in the fire service, the past 18 in senior management, and has been an active participant at the national level with the United States Fire Administration. The International Fire Marshal's Association (former President), the International Association of Fire Chiefs, and the National Association of Fire Marshals are among the organizations he has served on. He is the current chair of the technical committee on Fire Marshal professional credentials.
He is the author of Brady/Prentice Hall's Fire Prevention: A Complete Approach and a regular contributor to Fire Rescue Magazine. He is the project director for Vision 20/20 (www.strategicfire.org), a national strategy plan for enhancing fire prevention operations in the United States, and has served as adjunct faculty at the National Fire Academy.
