You are asked to answer the following two questions. It is anticipated that
the answer to each question will be about 2500 words. The total word count
is 5000 words. Students are reminded that they should not substantially
replicate any material submitted for another assessment, and it therefore
recommended that you avoid the substantive topic that you looked at for
the essay submitted for International Human Rights Law in AB1. Your
answers should be fully referenced. Tutors are happy to discuss your
proposed approach with you in advance of submission, but please note that
we are not permitted to read drafts of written work.

“There have been hypocritical and self-serving attempts to separate the
modern State from its obverse side – human rights – in the name of
asserted local cultural traditions. While the idea may still be heard in
political discourse, international human rights law has nailed the issue:
human rights are universal.” Rodley, Nigel ‘International Human Rights
Law’ in International Law 4th ed. Malcolm D. Evans (ed) (Oxford: OUP) 783820, P 817
Do you agree? Your answer should engage with relevant theory and
include some discussion of the role of reservations as well as the interplay
between regional and international systems of rights protection.
2 What do you think is the biggest challenge to the international human
rights regime? Explain your choice. How might this be addressed? Your
answer can focus on either the UN or the regional systems, or both.

‘For all their success as live performers, the Beatles’s ultimate legacy was
their recordings. Martin provided the technical and musical ballast for their
imaginative flights, from string arrangements, to synching two four-track
machines in different studios, to developing sound effects.
The Beatles pushed the envelope of what popular music was, making the
studio a creative space – an instrument in itself, rather than just a place to
record performances. With George Martin, then, they changed the
commercial and artistic realities of popular music, driving forward the
recording as the key creative statement and putting the album at the centre
of the commercial process.’

"Section 37(1) of Crime and Disorder Act 1998 introduced the ‘principal aim’
of the youth justice system: ‘to prevent offending by children and young
persons’, to run in parallel with the long-standing requirement of Children
and Young Persons Act 1933 s.44(1) that every court dealing with a child or
young person ‘shall have regard to (their) welfare’."
