International Law MCQs 2012
Broaden your perspective on international legal actors with this insightful set of International Law MCQs from the CSS 2012 exam. This page focuses on the diverse entities that shape the international legal order. The questions explore the nature of international legal personality and the theoretical debate between monism and dualism. A key area is the role of non-state actors, including the unique status of the ICRC as an NGO and the influence of organizations like Amnesty International and Greenpeace. You will be tested on the binding nature of UN Security Council resolutions under Chapter VII and the growing importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) for multinational corporations. The set also covers fundamental principles like Jus Cogens (compelling law) and Pacta Sunt Servanda (treaties are binding), alongside important institutional knowledge about the ICJ and its sources of law under Article 38.
