International Law MCQs 2003
Engage with a wide-ranging set of International Law MCQs from the CSS 2003 exam that tests both theoretical knowledge and its practical application. This series covers state sovereignty over resources on the continental shelf and the legal consequences of a fundamental change of circumstances for treaties. It includes questions on pivotal cases like the Schooner Exchange case, which cemented the principle of sovereign immunity, and international conventions addressing crimes such as hijacking. The set also focuses on Pakistan’s specific maritime claims, the jurisdiction of the UN Security Council, and the legal definition of contraband. With additional questions on diplomatic asylum, the codification work of the International Law Commission, and the rules governing the innocent passage of foreign ships, this collection offers a rigorous review of essential international law topics.
