Note, you may do this assignment with a group. 4 people is the MAXIMUM number and everyone will receive the exact same mark regardless of level of effort. Your group will hand in 1 copy of the assignment only in class and to dropbox.

This assignment is expected to be 5 pages + bibliography (single space).

Find a read a copy of Security Council resolution 1973 (2011). Make sure it is an original version and not a summary. The original is 8 pages long.

Find and read a think tank report about this resolution. Using these two sources only, answer the following questions.

1) Identify the main actors and tools in the resolution

2) Describe in brief what the Security Council wishes to achieve via S/RES/1973.

3) What measures/actions does the Security Council require of member states?

4) What measures/actions does the Security Council require of the state of Libya?

You must cite both the resolution and the other article using the following style:

Chicago Style (Notes and Bibliography style not Author date style). Follow the link below for samples.

http://www.chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide/citation-guide-1.html

You should use the “shortened note” style in your text and then have the full citation in a bibliography.

For example,

Her absolutely brilliant insights in her article were especially important as they relate to the Santa Tracker. (Charron, “Canada, the Arctic and NORAD”, 222.) My text would then continue here….

My bibliography would include

Charron, Andrea. “Canada, the Arctic and NORAD: Status Quo or New Ball Game?”, International Journal, 70 (2) (2015): 215-231.

For the resolution, use the following style.

(S/RES/1793 para 7) for in text citation

OR

(S/RES/1973: preamb para c)

Note resolutions only have #s for the “operative paragraphs”. For the beginning paragraphs (the preambular paragraphs) you may pretend they have a, b, c beginning with “Recalling its resolution 1970 (2011)… as paragraph “a”. By my count “Acting under Chapter VII” is paragraph “v”.

Full Citation

S.C.Res.1973, U.N.Doc.S/RES/1973 (March 17, 2011)
