Abstract :
The Draft Articles on State Responsibility 2001 have been applied on the case of Lockerbie bombing by two Libyan nationals as they have connection with the state organs. As the state responsibility occurs when the international legal obligation belong to the state has been violated, then the conduct of Libyan suspects has been attributed to their state. The United States as an injured state and potential target for the terrorist activities reacted decisively by putting sanction to the state of Libya based on Montreal Convention and UN Security Council Resolution. The legality of the US’ actions was based on the Draft Articles on State Responsibility as well as the UN Charter. The paper aims to discuss and highlight the conduct of Libya and the United States and its imputability of the State Responsibility to Libya.
