**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing international law and the principles of liability and damages in the context of international delicts, specifically in relation to the concept of causality and the responsibility of states for damages caused by their actions. The language and concepts used, such as "predictability criterion", "proximity", and "causal link", suggest a focus on legal principles and international relations rather than a specific sector or field.
