Alternatively, you can just get the jist of the things and write on your own risking your score.

I do not think you need to cram anything with the exception of a few articles of Vienna Convention, Geneva covention and only one or two articles of the statute of international court of justice besides some resolutions of the UNO. Now, being a CSS aspirant one should know all these charters, conventions and resolution. they are helpfull in current affairs as well as in other papers. Role of UNO in the Settlement of intenational disputes in accordance with the laid laws and subsequent indifference of powerful states are such issues which a css aspirant shall know . And these issues are the subject of IL

Dear there are roughly 20 topics which you can easily prepare in 20 days. regarding cramming, there are only references which you are required to give while attepmting a question. For instance if you are asked: what is Nationality, now you can give a refernece that According to the Article 15 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 1948" Every one has the right to nationality. if asked about Piracy you may proceed this way that acoording to the article 15 of vienna convention piarcy is an illegal or violent act commited on high seas against a ship, person or property.
The rest is philosphy, opinions, and practices , since, it is not in codified form. It is mainly based on the international customs which have developed over the years, which have been observed by states in thier mutual relations,and which they are not bound to observe if they find them against their national intrests. similarly there are political thinkers, legists whose opinions are given much importance. They have tried to justify International law as true law where as some have refused to acknowlege it as having the force of law.
For you dear literatti person, International Law is the Tale of Two or More Countries. Cheeers.
