International Law MCQs 2001
This collection of International Law MCQs from the CSS 2001 exam probes the very nature of the international legal system and its subjects. The questions explore whether international law applies only to states or also to individuals, and the foundational role of member states in creating organizations like the United Nations. Key historical knowledge is tested, including the non-participation of the USA in the League of Nations and the outcomes of the Vienna Congress. The series covers the election of ICJ judges, the rights of land-locked states under the Law of the Sea, and the discretionary nature of recognizing new states. Concepts of territorial asylum, state continuity, and the effect of war on treaties are also examined, providing deep insight into the structure and operation of international law.
