Objective State responsibility is based on two legal aspects; first, committing an internationally unlawful act by a state contrary to an international obligation; and second, the unlawful act is attributable to the State concerned. Specific and concrete damages are not required for the allocation of international responsibility to a State. Given these elements, the present article entitled “Unlawful act having a continuing character in the context of State responsibility” deals with the legal issues concerning the question of a breach of an international obligation that is in a state of continuity since it began from the first place without coming to an end, using the legal analysisbased on deduction. Characterization of a State act as being a continuing unlawful act is a very critical matter that has important legal implications and consequences on State responsibility. This work, however, is dealt with in Two Main Sections; while Section One discusses Unlawful Act as the Basis of Objective State Responsibility, Section Two is exclusively devoted to the discussion of the question of the Unlawful Act That Having a Continuing Character. In both sections, many legal issues were raised and dealt with. This work ends, however, with a conclusion that is not merely a summary of the results but also contains an analysis relating to the legal outcomes of characterizing an internationally unlawful act as having a continuing character, and the differences that such characterization makes if compared to the temporary unlawful act, or that having a continuing effect, without the act itself possessing the character of continuity.Keywords:objective responsibility, internationally wrongful acts, international obligation, internationally continuing unlawful act, instantaneous unlawful act.

Arabic abstract
تقوم المسؤولية الدولية الموضوعية في القانون الدولي على عنصرين؛ إتيان الدولة لفعل غير مشروع مخالف لالتزام دولي، ونسبة الفعل غير المشروع دوليا للدولة المعنية. ويناقش هذا البحث الخرق المستمر للالتزام الدولي، في فترة زمنية يبدأ بها خرق الالتزام ويستمر حتى ينتهي، وذلك وفق تحليل قانوني قائم على منهج الاستنباط، وتناول الموضوع في محورين؛ الأول في الفعل غير المشروع بوصفه أساسا للمسؤولية الموضوعية، والثاني في الطبيعة الاستمرارية لذلك الفعل. وخلص إلى نتائج مهمة منها بيان نتائج توصيف الفعل بأنه ذو طابع استمراري، والفوارق التي يحدثها هذا التوصيف على المستوى القانوني إذا ما قورن بالفعل غير المشروع الوقتي أو المستمرة نتائجه، دون أن يكون للفعل غير المشروع نفسه طابع الاستمرارية.
