Assignment Help-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
Describe the law (is it soft or hard law, is it a treaty, case or institution, etc.)
Describe its purpose and how it functions.
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).
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.
Can the law effectively guide or constrain the behavior of states (or institutions or individuals)?
Was the law correctly designed to address the collective problem? Why or why not?
Are there characteristics of the current international system and states that strengthen or weaken the law’s effectiveness?
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:
Why and how should states follow international law?
What influences the effectiveness of international law?
