Here are the answers to your questions: Question 1 Jus Cogens is a peremptory norm of international law, under which no derogation is permitted Answer: True* Question 2 The pacta sunt servanda rule places a good faith obligation on parties to comply with the treaty's terms and conditions once the treaty has entered into force between them. Answer: True* Question 3 Countermeasures are a form of unilateral action where injured states are entitled to take forcible measures against a state responsible for the breach of an international obligation. Answer: False* Countermeasures are generally non-forcible* measures taken by an injured state. The use of force is prohibited under international law, except in specific circumstances like self-defense. Question 4 Monism means that international law must be translated into national law before it can be enforceable in a domestic court. Answer: False* This statement describes dualism*. Monism holds that international and national law form a single legal system, and international law is directly applicable in domestic courts. Question 5 A reservation to a treaty may be withdrawn at any time, and the consent of a State which has accepted the reservation is required for its withdrawal. Answer: False* According to Article 22 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT), a reservation may be withdrawn at any time, and the consent of a State which has accepted the reservation is not* required for its withdrawal. Question 6 The term ‘sanctions’ in its narrow sense denotes the collective action by a state against the violator state. Answer: False* "Collective action" implies action by multiple states or an international organization, not "by a state" (singular). Sanctions can be unilateral or collective, but the phrasing here is contradictory. Question 7 In S v Banda 1989 4 SA 519 (Bop), the Court held that the constitutive theory is preferrable as it is more objective. Answer: False* In S v Banda, the court preferred the declaratory theory* of state recognition, finding it more objective than the constitutive theory. Question 8 Ratification is the way in which a state that was not a party to the original treaty may become a party to a treaty. Answer: False* This describes accession*. Ratification is the formal act by which a state expresses its consent to be bound by a treaty it has already signed. Question 9 An international organisation can be defined as a collectivity of States established by treaty, with a constitution and common organs, having a personality distinct from that of its member-States, and being a subject of international law with treaty-making capacity. Answer: True* Question 10 State jurisdiction is divided into four distinct powers or competences which are exercised by states Answer: False* State jurisdiction is typically categorized into three main types: prescriptive (to prescribe laws), enforcement (to enforce laws), and adjudicative (to adjudicate disputes). Question 11 In conciliation, a commission set up for that purpose (either permanently or on an ad hoc basis), and it assists the parties to the dispute. Answer: True* Question 12 The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) provides that any person who can produce appropriate full powers can conclude treaties on behalf of the state. Answer: True* Question 13 The Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) allows states to make reservations after signing or ratifying a treaty. Answer: False* Reservations are typically made at the time* of signing, ratifying, accepting, approving, or acceding to a treaty, not after these acts have been completed. Question 14 The proliferation of international organisations in modern society is part of the development and transformation of international law. Answer: True
