Paper Assignment
Each student will complete two papers for this class. For this assignment you will research a
historic/classic case OR current issue in international law. A list of classic cases can be found at the
beginning of the Cassese textbook or look at cases at the UN’s Permanent Court of Arbitration
https://pca-cpa.org/en/home/. News events in international law occur regularly in the news. Like the
Venezuelan Diplomat’s murder by a fellow diplomat in Kenya, or possibly be a recent UN Security
Council resolution, convention, treaty etc. A great place to find current issues is the American Society of
International Law website: http://www.asil.org/insights.cfm, but you may also run across an issue while
reading the news. These papers should be four to five pages in length, double-spaced, 12 pt font, and
1” margins.
Format for Current Issue Paper: In the introduction tell the reader what the paper is about and, in one
sentence if possible, what the issue is concerning and legal principles that it is related to (sovereign
immunity, a specific jus cogens, maritime laws, peace, diplomacy etc.). Then in the body explain the
issue concerned, when did it happen, who (people and/or States) was involved, whether or not the issue
is resolved and how it was resolved. If you are writing about a new treaty or convention, tell the reader
what the purpose of the treaty is, what States are involved, and ratification of treaty. The conclusion
should briefly summarize what you wrote in the body of the paper. Make sure to include references for
any materials you used to help write the paper (should have at least 4 to 5 sources). Each paper is
worth 10% of your grade.
