Liability for damages under the Vienna Convention

Odškodninska obveznost je obveznost stranke, da poravna škodo za katero je odgovorna. V skladu s 74. členom DK je stranka odgovorna povrniti vso škodo, vključno z izgubljenim dobičkom, ki je nastala kot posledica kršitve pogodbe, pod pogojem, da je bila predvidljiva v času sklenitve pogodbe. 74. člen DK temelji na načelu popolne odškodnine, v skladu s katerim mora priti oškodovana stranka v položaj v katerem bi bila, če do kršitve ne bi prišlo. V primeru odstopa od pogodbe pa lahko stranka zahteva povrnitev škode na podlagi 75. ali 76. člena DK. 75. člen DK določa konkreten izračun škode na podlagi cene iz nadomestne transakcije, 76. člen DK pa določa konkreten izračun škode na podlagi trenutne tržne cene. V skladu s 77. členom DK se povračilo škode na podlagi 74., 75. in 76. člena DK zmanjša, če stranka ni sprejela ukrepov za zmanjšanje škode. Odgovornost stranke, ki pogodbo krši je objektivna, torej odgovarja ne glede na krivdo. Stranka se lahko razbremeni odgovornosti, če so izpolnjeni pogoji iz 79. člena DK.Liability for damages is the obligation of the party to settle to the damages for which it is responsible.
