I hate to break it to you that you still have a few wrong.
9 C >>>some treaties are self executory, there validity is judged through the provision of treaties that whether they would require any ratification from the state legislature or not. 13 B .. Security council prime function is to maintain peace and security. Human Rights question is delegated to ECOSOC which furnishes it reports to General Assembly 14 a ... Geneva Convention deals with the war crimes. Laws of wars were dealt by Hague Convention which forbade the use of poisonous weapon..etc 16 a.... ICJ is the creature of statue and parties consent therefore its judges cannot have extra powers. In Legal Terms equity is the set of legal principles that supplement strict rules of law. In International law it means flexibility shown by a judge (I still cant comprehend this one but this is whats given in S.K.Kapoor book) |

Opinio Juris Definition:
Latin: the sense of legal obligation. In international law, acceptance of a practice as sufficient to create legal obligations. A nation's internal waters covers all water and waterways on the landward side of the baseline from which a nation's territorial waters is defined.[citation needed] It includes waterways such as rivers and canals, and sometimes the water within small bays. According to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the coastal nation is free to set laws, regulate any use, and use any resource. Foreign vessels have no right of passage within internal waters, and this lack of right to innocent passage is the key difference between internal waters and territorial waters.

Question 1. Development and codification of international law . Question 2. Subjects of int law. Question 3. Comparison betweenn custom and convention . Question 4. No doubt , it was out of blue . No one would have thought of this question. Question 5. Int court of justice , another favourite topic of examiner. Question 6. Recognition , Question 7. UNO With little twist of MDG , it looks difficult but major portion revolves around reforming uno. This was simply my analysis , anyone can disagree. Best of luck for CE 13. |

UN REFORM according to millenium development goals.
Anyone who has attempted this paper from a humanitarian point of view is right. This was a specific question, so if someone has written reforms of security council, or VETO, or expansion , he shouldn't expect much out of this. All MDGs are related to humanitarian aspects, like education, infant mortality, poverty eradication. SO , it was a matter of Paradigm shift from security to humanitarian issues, this question was inspired from oxfords very short book on UN. RECOGNITION and DEVELOPMENT of int law in centuries were Straight forward questions. Rest of the paper was specific and ZARA HAT KE.
