What do they mean by evaluate the effectiveness (1 Viewer)

[nyanyanyan]

Like if a world order question asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of legal measures in dealing with the South China Sea, what am I supposed to evaluate??? The effectiveness in promoting world order??? And would this be different for a different part of the syllabus like crime? Like if they asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the criminal trial process in relation to young offenders, what it the effectiveness based on?? Justice? Idk man

I don't do this subject but I assume they're asking you to compare the results from before and after the measures were implemented, and relate that to the goal of the measure. So I guess explain the measure, explain it's goal, then evaluate how much it reached its goal. Say if some procedures were introduced to eliminate youth crime, but only did so by 50% - it was effective, sure, but not as much as intended. Sorry if this is basic and really obvious.

The effectiveness would be based on how much justice and compliance with the law was achieved. Did recidivism rates go down? Did any of the legal measures actually do anything to prevent crime?

For the South China Sea you could talk about legal instruments and how well countries complied with them. It would be similar for the youth offenders question too, you just explain how much the criminal trial process reduces recidivism and deters youth from committing crimes. I would say that's kind of the main idea they want you to write about

Also I think the being held in court means when the court has made a ruling, whereas heard means its currently being presented to the jury/judge

Imagine being 2 months out of HSC and asking this question.

Holy cooked

You might reference particular cases like Philippines v China at the Permanent Court of Arbitration or maybe the International Tribunal of the Law of the Sea, maybe diplomatic negotiations within ASEAN, and show that it may be ineffective/effective based on China's use of state sovereignty which renders the legal responses less effective in enforceability

A legal mechanism may mean the legal organisations or instruments that may work towards achieving, for example, world order. Th UN would be an example of that

how effective it is in relation to criteria... has it been responsive, achieved justice for individuals, upholding the ROL etc. In these questions its asking you to make a judgement, has it been limited, mixed, moderate. No legal response in world order is really going to be PERFECT due to state sovereignty, so you will generally have a double barrel thesis, it is successful in some areas but limited in others.
For example, in relation to the conflict in Israel and Palestine legal responses have been of limited effectiveness. The United nations is ineffective due to state soverignty...you'd talk about the different arms - the general assembly and the security council. in the secruity council youd talk about veto power which limits the effectiveness. So constantly when answering the question youre evaluating it with your criteria, to PROVE your judgement that its effectiveness is limited.

legal responses - United Nations with its security council and GA, nato, anything that is established by legislation, ICC, ICJ etc. Legal mechanisms can enforce, non-legal promote and place pressure on legal mechanisms to achieve justice.
