The International Responsibility of International Organisations
addresses the joint responsibility of organisations for violations
of international law committed during the deployment of
peacekeeping operations. More specifically, it inquires if and
under which circumstances - in terms of the notion of control -
international organisations can be jointly responsible. The author
analyses the practice of international organisations (the United
Nations, NATO, the European Union, the African Union and the
Economic Community of West African States) on an
inter-institutional level, as well as in the field in the form of
five case studies. The likelihood and distribution of
responsibility between international organisations engaged in
peacekeeping operations is affected by the different layers of
applicable primary norms (Security Council mandates, internal law
of the organisations, international humanitarian and human rights
law). Although external pressure may contribute to enhancing the
effectiveness of holding international organisations jointly
responsible, any substantial measures and mechanisms can only be
implemented with the participation of states and international
organisations.
