سازمان مسئول باید وضعیتی را که پیش از ارتکاب عمل متخلفانه وجود داشت اعاده کند، مشروط بر اینکه اعاده وضع از نظر مادی ناممکن نباشد و بار آن در مقایسه با منفعت حاصل، نامتناسب نباشد.
An international organization responsible for an internationally wrongful act is under an obligation to make restitution, that is, to re-establish the situation which existed before the wrongful act was committed, provided and to the extent that restitution:
(a) is not materially impossible;
(b) does not involve a burden out of all proportion to the benefit deriving from restitution instead of compensation.
