Q. 3: Definition of subjects of law, different subjects. Individuals are more of an 'object' than a subject of Int Law, because their rights are conferred upon them through states and similarly their obligations are also imposed upon them by states. Then I also made mention of how human rights law and int humanitarian laws gives rights and obligations directly to individuals, but in this case too states are instrumental.
Then I explained Reparation case, and how it shows the 'subject-hood' of individuals.

Q. 4: Here I basically discussed how different states were recognised in different circumstances, and it was always some political necessities which made other states recognise a particular new state or not. For example, former soviet states, former republics of yugoslavian federation, taiwan, somaliland, Israel and palestine.

Q. 5: Chapter 6: recommendations and non binding suggestions.
Chapter 7: 'real' powers of UN. Binding resolutions. assessment of threat to world peace. sanctioning use of force.
Then I also mentioned chapter 8 and so called chapter 6 1/2.

Q. 8: UN has had some successes in terms of containing disputes and solving them before they snowballed into something bigger. for example gulf war of 1991, East timor etc. UN provides negotiations platform. etc etc.



My observation: As 4 out of 7 questions were about the UN, so I didn't have very kind words for the paper setter. Other than that, the paper was fine.

Pls go through my responses and give ur feedback.
