This week, we examined the intricacies of international environmental law.  After reading International Environmental Law by David Hunter, January 5, 2021: https://www.americanbar.org/groups/public_education/publications/insights-on-law-and-society/volume-19/insights-vol–19—issue-1/international-environmental-law/, please select one of the Global Environmental Agreements listed in the article.  
You must then research the agreement that you selected.  In an essay in the textbox of at least 500 words, please explain in detail the purpose of the agreement, important aspects of the agreement, the countries that are a party to the agreement, when it was entered into force and or the effective date, whether the agreement has been modified over the years or been the subject of debate and/or disagreement/litigation, what the future holds for the agreement, as well as the long term effects the agreement may have on the environment.  Please rely on pertinent and authoritatively correct high-quality resources.  Don’t forget to include citations to your supporting sources.

This week, we examined the law of the sea.  In the textbox, please write a research-based essay to explain the importance of UNCLOS.  What are some important statements of UNCLOS?  Does UNCLOS apply to every country that is a UN member, and why or why not?  Lastly, describe each of the following:  Territorial Waters, Contiguous Zone, Exclusive Economic Zone, and International Waters.

This week, we examined the world of international adjudication and you will write a research essay on an international court of your choosing.
First, select one of the following international courts:
International Court of Justice (ICJ)
International Criminal Court (ICC)
International Labour Organization Administrative Tribunal
International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea
Permanent Court of Arbitration
World Bank – International Centre for the Settlement of Investment Disputes
World Intellectual Property Organization Arbitration and Mediation Center
You will then write a short paper summarizing the court you have selected and explaining its importance and purpose.  In your essay, please explain the court’s function, construction, history, purpose and procedures.  You may also discuss any cases of importance or recent cases that are of interest to you.
Please remember that this is not an opinion assignment; please rely on pertinent and authoritatively correct high-quality resources. While you may have certain areas that include opinion, the majority of your paper should be focused on research.  When citing to websites, such as those for the international courts, don’t forget to use Rule 18 in The Bluebook.
Formatting:  Citations should be in APA or Bluebook format.  If you are a major in the Legal Studies Department, you are required to utilize Bluebook footnotes using the ‘insert footnote’ feature in Word.  However, no reference list is needed.  If you are a major that is not in the Legal Studies Department, you may use APA citations in parenthesis; however, you must include a reference list at the end of your paper.  Attach your submission in textbox. 

As we learned in Week 1, the State of Boring takes environmental conservation very seriously.  They keep their shores impeccably clean; have strict plastic use regulations and multiple mandatory recycling programs, as well as strict emissions laws.  They recently found though that one of their beaches has been impacted drastically by an increase in garbage coming from the ocean, as well as waste. This is negatively impacting the marine wildlife and ecosystems in the area.  The beach is no longer safe for residents to utilize.  The cause has been determined to be from the State of Anarchy dumping their garbage and manufacturing wastes into the ocean.  This pollution is also affecting Anarchy’s shores and Cabal’s.  In your post this week, discuss how Anarchy’s actions are an international law problem.  Are there any global environmental agreements that the three island states could enter into to resolve these issues or should the states create a new international agreement to stop the dumping?  Are Anarchy’s actions a problem for the entire world that may need to come before the United Nations or another type of international organization if the problem cannot be resolved between the three island nations amicably?

This activity will address module outcomes 1 and 2. Upon completion of this activity, you will be able to:
M4-01: Differentiate between the media reporting accurate news and propaganda. (CO4)
M4-02: Analyze the role media plays in balancing the public’s right to information, interference of government mitigation strategies, and escalation of terrorist activity. (CO3)
Drawing on and using this course’s readings, viewings, terrorism research, and media sites available to you (as listed on Module 1 and 4’s L&A page), you will conduct an investigation into the causes and consequences of media reporting on terrorism. For example, there are arguments that hold media coverage to be an accelerator of terrorist recruitment and violent activity, while others view accuracy in media coverage of slights and injuries to aggrieved nationalist/group sensitivities as reducing the call for terror tactics responses by disempowered, or “victimized” groups.  In this assignment you are to Select 3 news resources’ coverage of terrorist incidents to evaluate, with at least one that is wholly unfamiliar to you.
Address the following questions in your paper:
Briefly, what role, if any, did media coverage of the terror group or incident play in the incident itself in each of your three cases – that is did the violent act originate in any way due to the media’s role in or coverage of the incident? If so, how?
Among your three cases, compare the reporting of terrorism violence by the referenced media services. What patterns or themes did you notice?
To what extent, if any, are the media services biased, or objective in their reporting on terrorism? How might this affect counterterrorism efforts in your view?
If applicable, in what ways do you find right-wing terrorism covered compared with left-wing terrorism?
The paper must meet the following formatting guidelines:
Length: At least 5 pages in length (at least 1250 words) double-spaced.  The cover/title page, references, and appendices are not included in the length requirement.
