World Order Essay Preparation help (1 Viewer)

[school4nerds]

Hey,

I have a world order unseen essayy coming up very soon and i have no idea how to prepare for it. the only hints we've been given is that it has to deal with values and ethical standards and law reform and that it only goes up to the dot point of "courts and tribunals" in the syllabus. Does anyone know possible questions? Should i write up an essay based on a random question and memorise it etc and then adapt it to the question later?

or is there really only one type of question that can be asked? (hence a memorised essay would work?)

please give me suggestions on how to study.
thanks

I wouldnt prepare and memorise an essay for legal, the questions are not general enough for it to be a reliable method. Just know your content well and understand the issues involved with it (i.e. are they effective, what impact has law reform had etc).

"Evaluate the role of law reform in promoting and maintaining world order"

Introduction --> Introduce topics you will be discussing (International Law, United Nations, Courts + Tribunals)
State Sovereignty paragraph --> establish the paradox ALWAYS (i.e State sovereignty is Good and Bad. Promotes and limits W.O --> Results in law Reform always being effective TO AN EXTENT)
Para 1: Int'l Law --> Talk about the way in which treaties and conventions have changed over time, evaluate effectiveness (Good one is NPT 1968 and Geneva Convention)
Para 2: UN SC: Sanctions --> development of sanctions as methods of international law
Para 3: UN SC: Peacekeeping --> maybe not so relevant but there is scope for discussion on the ways in which peacekeeping missions have been given legal mandate to operate in post conflict areas and thus, evaluate their effectiveness (Talk about Srebrenica and Rwanda as negative, And East Timor as positive)
Para 4: UN SC: R2P --> Revolution of Int'l Law in response to 90s attrocities, "never again" attitude from global community --> Changing ethical standards of justice meant a collective responsibility (Libya is a perfect case study and is recent)
Para 5: Courts + Tribunals: ICC --> Law reform established need for permanent court, universal jurisdiction, established by Rome Statute (Thomas Lubanga Dylio and the ICC's limited jurisdiction e.g Omar al-Bashir)
Para 6: Courts + Tribunals: ICJ --> Development of dispute resolution court needed in response to WWII and failed LoN (Contrast positive cases (Benin vs Niger, Nigeria vs Cameroon) with failed cases (Rejection of jurisdiction or failure to show up e.g Aus + NZ vs Fra 1974)
Para 7: Courts + Tribunals: AD-hoc --> Temproary courts established by SC, prosecute particular war criminals (Contrast effectiveness of SLSC and Charles Taylor with ineffectiveness of ICTY)
Conclusion: Whilst Law reform is effective in most areas, State Sovereignty hinders the maintence of world order. Always end your essay with a dual conclusion (I.e it's never black and white, demonstrate you understand the complexities of the subject matter)

Hope this helps

This was insanely helpful, thank you; I had no idea how to approach the essay since my teacher glossed over the topic. :S
