Are all acts of State organs attributed to the State under the law of international responsibility?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer A
Article 4 of the ILC Articles on State Responsibility attributes to the State the conduct of any State organ, "whether the organ exercises legislative, executive, judicial or any other functions" and whatever its position. Article 7 adds that such conduct is attributed even if the organ "exceeds its authority or contravenes instructions", provided it acts in that capacity, so attribution is neither limited to senior officials or the executive nor to acts within the organ's powers.
