Guiding Questions |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
1) "Intervention" - What is
the significance of Nicaragua starting it?
|
|
| |
|
2) Why is the US
involvement/not collective self-defence? Compare the level of initial military
activity of the US and Nicaragua.
|
|
| |
|
3) How important is the World
Court's progressive usage of customary international law to its
outcome?
|
|
|
|
4) Finally, think of the role
of the International Court of Justice? As it decided the case, war was still
waging. Was the World Court resolving a legal or a political dispute? Is this
inevitable, desirable, avoidable, detestable, etc...? |
