You can pick whichever one you prefer out of the three BUT ONLY ANSWER ONE OF THE QUESTIONS please please 🙂 : Answer ONLY ONE question from the questions below. All questions carry equal mark.

Question 1

‘[T]he outstanding accomplishment of the trial which never could have been achieved by any more executive action, is that it has crystallized the concept that there is inherent in the international community a machinery both for the expression of international criminal law and for its enforcement’. – Judge Charles Wyzanski

Critically evaluate this statement in light of the evolution of International Criminal Law.

Question 2

‘…In placing the protection of individuals at the heart of the international legal regime, the old state-centric model of international law was changed forever’. – Mansell and Openshaw (2013) p.126

Discuss with specific reference to official positions of individuals who commit international crimes and the criminal liability of subordinate officials

Question 3

In 1971, the state of Zigi discovered the Island of Pain and planted a palm tree on the Island. After some years in 1975, Robert Stone the President of the state of Kakawa claimed that Pain belonged to Kakawa by an act of discovery and conquest which they embarked on in 1890, by which they colonised several countries including the Island of Pain. A dispute went on for years between the two countries Zigi and Kakawa. In 1995, a rebel group known as ‘Janjaweed’ from the State of Zigi attacked the civilian population of Kakawa, carried out ethnic cleansing and killed all the males in Kuku, the Capital City of the State of Kakawa. The ethnic cleansing was targeted at the ‘Jar’ group to stop them from getting stronger and bigger. The Janjaweed group carried women and children captive and raided the entire Kuku City. About 6 members of Janjaweed, namely, Tuku, Jala, Fiti, Kumbele, Jenson and Tala were arrested by officers of the State of JUMAI a neighbouring country between Kakawa and Zigi. The President of Kakawa Robert Stone has written to President Jim of JUMAI to release the 6 suspects to the International Criminal Court for trial, but President Jim has refused to comply. In the meantime, the inhabitants of the Island of Pain are seeking for self-determination to become an independent state.
