The Project

The SHARES Project examines an unexplored and largely unrecognised problem: the allocation of international responsibility among multiple states and other actors. It uncovers the nature and extent of the problem of sharing responsibility in an increasingly interdependent and heterogeneous international legal order. The Project produces output, offering new concepts, principles and perspectives for understanding how the international legal order may deal with shared responsibility. The SHARES Conceptual Framework Paper can be found here. See here for an introduction to shared responsibility by Professor André Nollkaemper. The Project officially ran until 2015, and the final outcome, the ‘Principles’, will be presented in 2018.
