ABSTRACT
In his chapter on the International Law Commission, Gentian Zyberi examines how the Commission can itself be considered a non-state actor. He then turns to the substantive work of the Commission to evaluate how the Commission has construed the status and role of non-state actors in some of the topics which have been on its agenda. The work of the ILC relating to non-state actors is separated into three distinct categories, which largely reflect the emancipation of non-state actors from partakers in the international legal system whose conduct could be attributed and give rise to state responsibility to become participants in their own right with ensuing rights and obligations.
