Dear Student
1. INTRODUCTION
This is the last tutorial letter for this semester. It contains commentary on the
compulsory assignments for this semester and the October/November 2018
examination paper. You will also find a brief indication of what you can expect in the
examination in May/June 2019.
2. FEEDBACK ON THE COMPULSORY ASSIGNMENTS
ASSIGNMENT 1 (18 MARCH 2019)
Unique number: 657461
Total: 25 Marks
Write an essay, in which you discuss the contribution of Africa to the history and
development of public international law. [25]
In this assignment we were looking for the following:
Your knowledge and understanding of the history and development of
international law in general.
Your ability to differentiate between the all four periods of this development;
Your ability to synthesise information coherently and logically.
We were also mindful of the fact that each student had an individual and unique
approach to the assignment question and that the length of your assignment was
limited. The information below is therefore not a model answer, nor a
comprehensive or an exhaustive one: It is simply an example of some of the issues,

Suggested answer:
Your answer should have covered the following, as detailed in Strydom pages 5 to 31.
You were expected to cover the period that characterised the beginnings of the
modern state system; the period from the 1500s to 1648; the emergence of modern
Europe and its accompanying economic expansion and socio-political
transformations. Your answer should have included a discussion of the Westphalian
model, sovereign equality of states and respect for their independence as well as
the contribution of eminent writers of the time, such as van Bynkershoek, Grotius
etc.
The next era in your discussion should have been the period from 1648 to 1815
which was characterised by conflict between the three new powers in Europe,
namely the Netherlands, Britain and France.
This would be followed by the period from 1815 to 1914 which was characterised by
occupation of African territories by European forces and the legitimation of this by
the Berlin Conference. This discussion would be followed by the period after the
First and Second World Wars, and how these two major occurrences shaped
