The topic is pretty much self-explanatory. Your task is to write an argumentative research paper on “Do we need an international criminal court?” Your research paper should be well organized and contains facts, quotations or illustrations from reference materials to support your thesis. These sources must be properly documented at the Post-graduate level (MLA standard). You will be penalized for not recognizing all sources that you use to support your research.

It is important to understand that an argumentative research paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.

**Be detailed and comprehensive in your approach**

A rubric and an outline will be attached to help you develop the paper, as well as ensure if all of the criteria are met and exceeds a level A+. Please, on a separate document or the text editor, complete THE PROPOSAL before you start the FINAL DRAFT. THE PROPOSAL is considered the rough draft of the work so I have an idea of what the paper will discuss/highlight.

In the end, I should receive THREE documents: a rough draft of the research paper (the proposal), a final, revised draft of the research paper I submit, and lastly, an annotated Works Cited page (as stipulated in the attachment).

This paper should be taken very seriously as it is a summative worth 30% of my overall mark. Please adhere to university or post-grad readability and writing devoid of grammar and punctuation mistakes.

If you do have any questions or concerns regarding the order, feel free to let me know and I will respond back as soon as possible.
