Traditionally, International Law has not paid sufficient attention to victims.1 An explanation for this can be found in the particular nature of international law: States make, interpret and apply international law. Therefore, as a result of this and owing to the predominantly interstate structure of the international community, international norms have been created to respond to states’ interests and goals. In this context, states have paid attention to persons or individuals only in some particular fields of international law. This is the case, for example, with human rights, international criminal law (with regard to international criminal responsibility of individuals)2 or international humanitarian law. But in each of these branches of international law, the way in which victims are considered differs. So, in international law of human rights, victims are considered when the State is the author of the breach of the international obligation, but this branch of international law does not consider the breach of international obligations in this field by non-state actors
