International Law

Research Paper

Your assignment is to research and analyze an international law created in response to an international issue. The purpose of the paper is to evaluate the issue area surrounding the law, and the behavior(s) of states in order to evaluate the effectiveness of the international law you have chosen.

A. Requirements

Write a 12-14 page, double-spaced, 1" margin, typed paper, add page numbers and include a cover page (not included in the page count).

B. Sources

Include a Reference/Bibliography page and cite at least 5 different sources.

You may use scholarly journals, books, government documents and web sites (including at least one book and one journal) for your sources. Encyclopedias including internet encyclopedias (wikipedia, answers.com, etc.) are not scholarly sources and should not be used as references for your paper. Plagiarism and cheating will not be tolerated. All cases of plagiarism and cheating will result in disciplinary action, including an F for the assignment and possibly the class.

C. Grading

The paper will be graded on

Content (Focus, Organization, Coherence, Support, Logic and Analysis),

Research Sufficiency, and

Style (Format, Punctuation, Grammar and Citations).

All citations and bibliographies should be properly formatted using the Chicago Citation style, and use parenthetical notation for in-text citations rather than footnotes: (Author(s) Last Name, Year, pg. #).

** Keep your writing formal. Do not use contractions and slang. Avoid the use of colloquial terms such as "get" or "got", "a lot", "huge," and "things." A thesaurus can be a useful tool, but only when used correctly.

Final Paper:

Your paper must contain four parts with greatest emphasis on Part 3 and 4:

1. Briefly introduce the international law (2-3 pages).

a. Describe the law (is it soft or hard law, is it a treaty, case or institution, etc.)

b. Describe its purpose and how it functions.

2. Discuss the historical context for the law, include an introduction of the main states involved in its creation and an overview of why the law was created (what collective problem was the law designed to overcome). (3-4 pages)

3. Analyze the law' s effectiveness. You must discuss "consent" and select at least three additional variables of effectiveness we have discussed in class, and then analyze the ability of the law to be effective based on these criteria. Your analysis should be based on your sources and your own perspective. (4-5 pages)

Discuss questions such as:

a. Can the law effectively guide or constrain the behavior of states (or institutions or individuals)?

b. Was the law correctly designed to address the collective problem? Why or why not?

c. Are there characteristics of the current international system and states that strengthen or weaken the law's effectiveness?

4. Finally, compare and contrast your case to at least two other cases we covered in class in order to answer the questions: What would be necessary to increase the effectiveness of international law? Why? (4-5 pages)

As part of your answer, consider the following questions:

a. Why and how should states follow international law?

b. What influences the effectiveness of international law?

Use examples from lectures, readings, and the treaty simulation to substantiate your answer.

Introduction
Importance of International Laws
International law is the set of standard doctrines which dictate the relations between
different countries in the world. These rules serve the same function as any other local laws- to
act as guard rails in the discrepancy between societal virtues and vices. International laws span
across all aspects of human living including socio-economic, political and humanitarian issues. It
establishes standards within and between countries to sustain the lives of the people involved and
secure their property. Laws also serve the function of maintaining order which coincides with the
guiding principle of civilization in the society. Disputes that may often arise during human
interaction are solved by referring to the mandates stipulated by the law. Laws exist to provide a
formal challenge through which these disputes can be heard, evaluated and resolved fairly.
International laws were formulated to protect the liberal rights of citizens all over the world.
Such acts include the First Amendment which prohibits the government from making decisions
that may infringe on the individual’s right to speech.
The world is a system of interconnected nations that interact on different capacities.
Although the essence of the interconnection among nations of the world is to promote unity and
coherence in their daily interactions, sometimes, the countries differ in their ideologies. In
extreme situations, nations engage in battles, either a physical battle or a cold war. It is therefore
necessary to initiate an internationally accepted rule of conduct that guide the operations and
mitigate problems that emerge from international interactions. Furthermore, the international
community faces common problems that require common solutions. The purpose of the
international law is to provide guidelines that direct the conduct of a country. The international

community it important to enhance political unity and improve economic responsibility that
countries have towards each other. The international law fights for rights human beings
advocating for equal treatment.
International Laws and Child Trafficking
Child trafficking is not a regional problem, it is not a continental problem, but is rather a
challenge that cuts across all nations of the country. It covers the best of the world’s developed
nations to least of the developed nations in third world nations. Child trafficking equates the
value of children to an economic asset and a communal property that any anybody interested has
a right to own. Trafficking children is an interference to families, it is betraying children against
taking part in a society that advocates for the respect of human rights. For instance, human rights
act require respect of the rights of individuals irrespective of their status, their religious
affiliation, their race and disparities in skin color. Unfortunately, the respect for the rights of
children is a blanket legislation with so many dark spots behind the scenes.
Child trafficking is modern-day slavery whereby children are denied their right to
education and exploited by being forced to partake in economic activities. Traffickers operate in
various ways; some kidnap the children, others threaten their families while others lure the
children in with gifts and a promise of a better future. Due to economic constraints like poverty,
some families consciously give up their children to child traffickers. Therefore, most third world
countries like Sudan and Zimbabwe statistically show astounding levels of child trafficking.
These children are “exported” to countries like Russia and Scotland which have stable
economies (Big Rise in…, 2018, 2). These countries import children who are providing cheap
labor and partaking in vices such as prostitution and drug trafficking. However, since the

3

enactment of Protocol 2000 by the UN General Assembly, cases of child trafficking have
diminished as world countries continue to embrace the criminalization of child trafficking.
Description of Protocol 2000
Organizations of international crimes are uncalled for and deserve tough control
measures. Protocol 2000 is “The Protocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons
Especially in Women and Children.” It contains provisions on how to dispel the activity of
trafficking to reduce transnational organized crimes. Several of the terms used in the rules ar...
