At first sight, actions and omissions do not share the same properties. Some authors hold that an illustration of this assimetry is causality: actions must be explained as the instantiation of a causal relation between an agent and certain facts, while omissions seem to have to be explained as the absence of causal relations between a person and the relevant facts. In this paper, I will show that actions and omissions are, contrary to appearances, simetrical regarding the attribution of genuine causality.
