STARFORD INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY COLLEGE

PUBLIC INTERNATIONAL LAW II

GROUP PRESENTATIONS

Question One

“The classical technique of categorising the various modes of acquisition of territory is based on

Roman law and is not adequate. Many of the leading cases do not specify a particular category or

mode but tend to adopt an overall approach.” Citing relevant authorities and concrete examples,

discuss the concept of territory and its acquisition in international law. (20 marks)

Question Two

“The principle of internationally protected immunity for States and their representatives is a

principle of international law.” Dixon et all, Cases and Materials on International Law, p. 311. In

the light of that assertion, provide a critical analysis of Immunities from Jurisdiction and the

exceptions thereof if they exist. (20 marks)

Question Three

With the aid of relevant authorities and concrete examples, discuss the concept of state

responsibility in international law. (20 marks)

Question Four

In relation to state jurisdiction under international law, discuss the principles enunciated in the

Lotus Case (France v. Turkey). (20 marks)

Question Five

With aid of authorities and well-reasoned arguments, discuss the concept of State Sovereignty and

Legal Personality as understood in International Law. (20 marks)

Question Six

International law scholars are divided over the contentious issue as to whether international law is

really law. Provide the major tenets of the two major schools of thoughts and associate yourselves

with the one whom you think have sound arguments. (20 marks)
