Summary/Abstract: The article aims to broaden the subject of the attribution of conduct to a State by presenting different grounds for attributing State responsibility. It surveys main the principles of attribution, which were affirmed in international judicial decisions and specifies circumstances which extend beyond the general rule under which States incur responsibility only for the conduct of its organs. The provisions of the Articles on the Responsibility of States for Internationally Wrongful Acts constitute a primary point of reference of the research and are followed by examples of their practical application.
