Abstract :
Adherence to human rights is among the fundamental values of political systems. Indeed, the intricate relations and intertwined needs of human societies have made it imperative for states to comply with human rights values and refrain from violating international regulations. To demonstrate state compliance with international rules and principles, certain norms must be observed, the non-compliance of which—and consequently the breach of human rights standards—is accompanied by significant challenges. In this regard, it must be stated that international responsibility is a legal institution under which a state to which an act contrary to international law is attributable must make reparation for the damage caused to the injured state in accordance with international law. International responsibility arises when a state breaches an obligation owed to another state. Every internationally wrongful act by a state entails the international responsibility of that state. In this article, we intend to examine the international responsibility of states for human rights violations using a descriptive-analytical method, subjecting this subject to critical analysis and review.
