damages |
|
| |
|
|
| |
The pecuniary sum payable by one state to another to compensate the latter following its successful claim that a wrongful act has been done to it by the former. The award of damages is not necessarily linked with a pecuniary loss on the part of the wronged state. It should be noted that damages are not a form of punishment, international law being, overwhelmingly, in the nature of civil law rather than international criminal law. Consequently, damages are awarded as compensation for a wrong, not as punishment for a crime. |
