On 24 June 2014 Counsel for Charles Taylor submitted a ‘Motion for termination of enforcement of sentence in the United Kingdom and for transfer to Rwanda’ to the Residual Special Court for Sierra Leone (RSCSL). Critically examine firstly, the legal basis for the claim, secondly, what counterarguments could be brought and thirdly, how the RSCSL is likely to decide.

You are expected to base your work on a study of a wide a range of sources, including any relevant legislation, journal articles, policy papers, cases and academic texts.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

The word limit is 2,500 words (including footnotes, but excluding appendices or bibliography – please note that there will be a deduction of marks if you do not comply with the maximum word limit).
The mark will be worth 50% of the overall unit mark.

You will be assessed according to the following criteria:
1. Knowledge and understanding (depth of research, evidenced as appropriate by footnotes/ endnotes);
2. Analytical Content (Analysis, Argumentation and Evaluation);
3. Organisation, Communication and Presentation;
4. Referencing to Literature (including Bibliography).

The general marking criteria which apply are set out in the Appendix to the Unit Guide. The following are indicative of the criteria used in marking the assignment.

An excellent answer will address the question fully and get behind the question. It will deal comprehensively with the key issues and has a logical and coherent structure. It will evidence originality, wide reading and a level of understanding on the topic and relevant case law that distinguishes the work from the average good submission.

A good answer will answer the question fully and identify most of the issues contained in it. It will discuss the key concepts coherently and support legal principle with authority effectively. It will show signs of appropriated reading in the subject and competence to apply that reading.

A satisfactory answer will generally answer the question and address the key concepts and issues in a clear and appropriate manner. It will lack any real originality or signs of wider research.

A failed answer will be very weak on key concepts and have only limited coverage of the answer. Presentational skills will be poor. There will be little or no evidence of research.
