CLN4U1- Canadian and International Law

Final CPT – United Nations Security Council on the issue of

Ukraine

Mission:

Ukraine is a sovereign nation. The recent president has been deposed and civil unrest

has overtaken the nation. In response, Russia has just launched an invasion of Crimea

and other parts of eastern Ukraine. Their reasoning is to protect the ethno-Russians that

are living in those areas. An occupied part of Ukraine (Crimea) has had a referendum

that decided Russian re-unification of the area. Russia has just signed a treaty agreeing

to annex Crimea. Further unrest is brewing in the surrounding areas.

The UN wishes to ensure, firstly, the peaceful resolution of this issue.

The UN Security Council has been assembled to assess the situation and to provide

recommendations to the UN General Assembly.

The members of the Security Council include five permanent members: the United

States, United Kingdom, France, Russian Federation, China and ten non-permanent

members: Angola, Chad, Chile, Jordan, Lithuania, Malaysia, New Zealand, Nigeria,

Spain, Venezuela.

Tasks:

Groups of two will formed (and only one group of three as there are an odd number of

students in the class), with each group representing one country. A lottery will determine

which group gets which country. Each group will be responsible for:

1)

A rough copy of your research will be required.

Gathering newspaper, magazine, academic articles/information about Russia's

plans and the world's reaction to them. You must also research Russia's stance on

the

Budapest Memorandum, 1994

and the

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, 1918

2)

A profile must be developed of the country chosen, that is, what is your country's

stance, military capabilities, goals and views on aggression?

As the Security Council, you will meet and discuss the issue and each country will

develop a

one-page resolution

. Examples of resolutions are:

i.

request talks over matters of common concern

ii.

protest strongly and demand talks

iii.

accept/refuse arbitration

iv.

cut off all trade (sanctions)

v.

threaten military intervention (not possible as Russia has veto power)

vi.

suggest an international committee or organization to intervene in the dispute

.

*Justify your actions using the various articles in the UN Charter and by referring to other

examples of aggression.

3)

Final Task:

Each student from each group will prepare a 4 page (typed)

research

analysis

on this experience and the issues discussed. Your research

analysis must be written in paragraph style with a thesis statement. All

researched material must be cited within the analysis and a bibliography

(minimum 5 sources) in MLA format. Include the following in your

analysis:

A. Background of issue

(Same for each member in each group)

Historical background

Who is directly involved?

Is this a regional or global problem?

Your country's position

What actions has your country taken to solve the issue now and in the

B. Opinion

What do you think is an effective solution to this issue?

How effective is the

Budapest Memorandum, 1994

?

Is/has International Law been effective?

Is/has the UN Security Council been effective?

C. Conclusion
