Summary
The first situation to be examined is when an insurrectional movement (or any other rebel group) does succeed in creating a new State. In such a case, a question arises as to whether or not the new State should be held responsible for obligations arising from internationally wrongful acts committed by the insurrectional movement against third States or other actors during the armed struggle for independence (Section 4.2). Another question is whether the new State should be held responsible for obligations arising from internationally wrongful acts committed by the predecessor State while fighting the rebels (which succeeded in creating that new State) (Section 4.3).
