Choose one of the topics in the images, and make a research question about 2500 words. Details are also listed on the images 

1. When is use of force permitted and prohibited?  What is self defense and how is it applied in international conflict law?  What is proportionality and why is it important in the international arena?
Use at least one source from the attached readings. 
2. Cabal has now joined the United Nations as a full member state and Anarchy refuses to recognize its status.  If the State of Anarchy launched a military attack on Cabal, what is Cabal’s right of self defense?  If the State of Boring was interested in joining sides in the war, would it be justified?  Would it depend on the side it joined? Would it need approval from the United Nations?  Try to justify your position based upon your status as an ambassador in line with the country which you represent. 
(find simulation explanation in the attachements)

Instructions
The war between Anarchy and Cabal has now ended.  While neither side won, both have agreed to peaceful relations.  The State of Boring decided to stay out of the military fighting, but had sent resources (food, medical supplies, ammunition, etc.) to Cabal in support of its defense. 
During the rebuilding of Cabal, the government decided that, in order to maintain the peace and prevent further attacks by its neighbors, it would build a nuclear arms program and begin stockpiling nuclear weapons.  While Cabal has no immediate intention to ever use the weapons against its neighboring countries, it does plan to begin testing them on surrounding islands without any residents, as well as in the ocean.  As a new member state to the United Nations, it is not a signatory to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.  However, Anarchy and Boring have both signed the treaty. 
Please read the following articles:

If you are an ambassador for the State of Anarchy (A) or Boring (B), what if anything can your country do in order to prevent Cabal’s use of nuclear weapons?  Is there anything the United Nations can do to prevent Cabal’s use of nuclear weapons?  Are there any legal arguments that could be used to stop Cabal’s nuclear weapons program and testing?
You are state of Boring (B)! Find the explanation for the simulation in the attachement. 
Use at least 2 sources from the above websites and/or attached reading.

my course name is “foreign policy of pakistan” and i am doing BS sociology with majors in international relations. my assignment is writing a thought paper of 5000 words on the topic i mentioned above.

Format: Your final paper should include a title page, body, and reference page.  Your paper should have one-inch borders on all four sides, use Times New Roman-12 point font, be double spaced, and not have an extra space in-between paragraphs. (You may need to turn this off in MS word by going to “paragraph” and clicking ‘Don’t add space between paragraphs of the same style’). Since this is an INLT course, you need to use the Chicago Manual of Style footnote method with a “References” page.
Your final papers should include the following sections.
Introduction. This section should be written last and should pull from some of the elements of your literature review.  You will need to clearly provide an overview of the topic you are writing about, present your research question, and discuss why the situation is important to investigate. Also, explain to the reader up front how the paper is organized. Writing the introduction last is helpful in ensuring that you’ve incorporated any changes that may have taken place over the course of your research.  This section should be about 1 page in length.
Literature Review. Your literature review section should incorporate the content from your second assignment, plus any other literature that you have identified to support your research. This section should be 5-6 pages in length.
Analysis and Findings. Every student’s paper will be a little bit different here, depending on the topic. You have only a couple of weeks to build this final section, and you will not have sufficient time to conduct surveys and collect data. So, let’s talk about what kind of “case study” CAN be accomplished in this time. Most importantly, you should explain whether and how the scholarly research in the literature review answers the research question that you posed at the beginning of the paper (or at least contributes to a better understanding of that research question). You can also choose to include some other things. Here are some example ideas. These are only examples. Present your analysis and findings as you see fit: 
Idea 1: Step back and browse the scholarly articles in your literature review. Select one scholar that you believe provides the best theory or framework or point-of-view for understanding your topic (e.g., Walzer’s Right to Life theory). Present that as your recommended “theoretical framework” for further study of the topic. Compare and contrast the theoretical framework with other scholarly studies from the literature review. 
Idea 2: Similar to Idea #1 above, select a theoretical framework and explain how you would use that framework to architect a future study on the topic. For example, you might develop an interview protocol and data collection effort around that framework. (Note: This may lead you to a potential future masters’ thesis study.). 
Idea 3: If you have personal experience with the topic, present your own fact-supported experience. Compare and contrast your experience with what is presented in the scholarly studies in the literature review. 
This section should be 5-6 pages in length.
Conclusion. Conclude the paper by reminding the reader of what was presented the paper, how it was organized, the results, and what the analysis adds to our body of knowledge.  Within your conclusion you should also offer suggestions for avenues of future research for other scholars as all knowledge is evolutionary.  This section should be 1-2 pages in length.

Write 1-2 paragraphs (at least 100 words each) for 5 of the highlighted short answer questions. Write at least 650 words for the highlighted long essay question. If there’s a question you think you can answer better than the highlighted ones, feel free to change!
Sources and quotes must only be used from the textbook (account details are given in the “POLSC MIDTERM” file).
See the Final Exam file for more detailed instructions and guidelines for this assignment.
See “POLSC MIDTERM” file as an example for the citations and structure for the answers. The final is exactly the same format and citations should be like the one in the midterm file. 
The study guide is just used for important key terms and topics.

Literature Review (Chapter Two)
Note: here, in-text citation and referencing are paramount, and researchers must pay more attention to this.
2.0 2.1
2.2
Introduction
All subsections should be related to the Research Objectives or Research Questions stated in the introduction.
Conclusion
This section should summarize the literature you have reviewed and highlight the gaps within the literature written on your topic. From here, the student can clearly state how you will address these gaps by researching your topic. This links to the following methodology chapter.
