The headings below are there to remind you how section and subsection titles are formatted. | | | Justifications for Nationality Based Rights and Obligations | | | Though, the cosmopolitan approach is not free of flaws. The uniformity of law inevitably points towards a binding global enforcement agency. Elimination of jurisdictional exploitations require consistent interpretation, application, and enforcement of law, which would be best achieved by legislative and judicial bodies binding on every member country of the global community. Although guiding international organizations exist now, the envisioned governing mechanism requires another level of international cooperation and relinquishment of power from the superpowers, rendering the feasibility of the cosmopolitan approach debatable. Even if such governing mechanism can be employed, preservation of voices and rights of minorities and small “countries” will be continued issues just like racial and gender equality are now. But, perhaps, this attempt to justify nationality-based rights and obligations may motivate further explorations of the cosmopolitan approach and its realistic implications to present a solution to some issue we are currently facing in the world. | |

You need a draft that is not more than 1,000 words. This is at least 8% too long.
It should not be hard to cut. When choosing to re-use prior work, you should have decided to rewrite it completely. This isn't a book report about Yael Tamir anymore. Your draft should frame a question sharply. From a lawyer's perspective, which is the one you now inhabit, this is an inquiry into the source of our obligation to obey law, and how "nationality" relates to it. Rather than being a discussion about social contractarianism and liberal theory, it asks why I obey Dutch law when I am in the Netherlands, even though I have a US passport and obey US law when I am at home. The answer is not that I belong to the Dutch when I am there, or that I have associated Dutch-ness, or that I am afraid of being sent to Dutch prison or being beaten by a Dutch policeman. But those might explain why I obey Chinese law in China, or why I broke Soviet law in the Soviet Union. You learned something once, and here we are using that learning in a new way another time. Let's try a draft that acknowledges more fully what is new.

You are entitled to restrict access to your paper if you want to. But we all derive immense benefit from reading one another's work, and I hope you won't feel the need unless the subject matter is personal and its disclosure would be harmful or undesirable.
To restrict access to your paper simply delete the "#" character on the next two lines: |
