• You may draw on the relevant course readings, and are not required to do additional research beyond course
readings and notes and material Study Units. However, answers that simply reproduce Study Units notes, or
copy from readings, will receive zero.
Answer two (2) questions.
1. “International law and international organizations are epiphenomenal – i.e., although they exist, they are
ineffective in influencing the behaviour of states or in shaping the course and outcomes of international events.”
Discuss with reference to the role of international law and organizations in any particular issue-area and
provide relevant examples. YOU HAVE TO ANSWER THIS FIRST QUESTION
2. “Peace is more than the absence of war.” Discuss with reference to the some of the newer peace strategies
being implemented by the UN (and regional organizations) and provide appropriate examples to support
your arguments.
3. “International law has traditionally operated within a state-centric paradigm where maintaining order among
sovereign entities was given priority over justice. Some observers argue that contemporary challenges have
revealed the limitations of the traditional state-centric paradigm and have led to a greater emphasis on achieving
justice.” Do you agree, why or why not? Provide relevant examples to support your arguments
