Conduct attributable to the state may consist
of actions or omissions. For a particular conduct to
be characterized as an internationally wrongful act,
it must first be attributable to the state to create
its responsibility either generally or specifically in
certain circumstances. In order for an act of the
state to be attributable, it must involve some action
or omission by its actor or actors. Then the question
remains as to which persons should be considered as
acting on behalf of the state. The official position of
a person is immaterial to creating responsibility for
the state.
