Abstract: This article studies the manner in which cessation is interpreted and how it currently applies before the International Court of Justice. The difference between various scholar opinions and the approach that the International Court of Justice has towards this remedy is relevant because coherence and predictability is relevant for both the practitioners and for academics.

Key-Words: State Responsibility, remedies, cessation, ICJ
