Questions: 1. According to international law experts, there is no hierarchy of primary sources of international law. Nevertheless, international treaties are often considered the main source of
international law. Comparing international treaties to other primary sources of international law listed in the article 38 of the Statute of International Court of Justice, discuss the role and
place of treaties in international politics.
2. According to Louis Henkin ‘almost all nations observe almost all principles of international law and almost all of their obligations almost all the time’. This might be true in relation to
ratification of agreements on trade, arm production and security. However, given that serious and systematic human rights violations occur everywhere (including in advanced democracies), commitment
to human rights treaties represents a puzzle. More generally, why do states sign on to International Law in the first place? Discuss various theories of commitment suggested by scholars. What
approach, in your opinion is more compelling and why?
