In spite of various existing rules and regulations in prohibition of such financing practices, not only this phenomenon has not been restrained or reduced but due to the current monetary transactions at terrorist groups’ disposal, it has gradually became a greater, more complex issue. The global appearance of new terrorist groups, especially in Middle East, serves as an evidence to this claim. As the International Law Commission’s Draft Articles on Responsibility of States2001 lacks the recognition of financial support as an adequate measure demonstrates, the impracticality of the prevalent rules and regulations to cease such practices can be traced to the inability to attribute acts of terrorism to sponsor states. This article attempts to study the responsibility of sponsor states in light of the mentioned rules and ultimately suggests means of improvement. %U https://jplsq.ut.ac.ir/article_63757_99a6fc6c7522f082213086114b63316b.pdf
