LLM Group 4 Human Rights Law International Humanitarian Law and Refugee Law Solved Question Papers with Answers - Mumbai University | munotes

This folder holds one paper, the sitting of 6 April 2026, printed on form 07425 under subject code 70504 as Paper V of Group IV. It is the only paper in Group IV that heads its questions "Q1." with no stop after the Q. Seven questions, attempt any four, and four short notes of which two are to be written, giving eleven items and 25 marks a question derived from the paper's own arithmetic.

The paper divides almost exactly along the two halves of its own title, and the split is not even. Questions 1 to 4 are HUMANITARIAN LAW, questions 5 and 6 are REFUGEE LAW, and of the four short notes three are humanitarian and only one is refugee. Eight of the eleven items are therefore on the law of armed conflict. A candidate who divides revision equally between the two halves of the title will have prepared the wrong proportion.

Prisoners of war are set twice on the same paper, in question 1 and again in short note (a), and the two want different things. Question 1 asks for the FACILITIES provided, which is the treatment regime of the Third Geneva Convention of 12 August 1949: Article 13 on protection from public curiosity, Article 17 on name, rank, date of birth and number and the prohibition of coercion, Articles 49 to 57 on labour, Article 118 on repatriation after the cessation of active hostilities and Article 126 on the right of the International Committee of the Red Cross to interview prisoners without witnesses. The short note wants WHO QUALIFIES, which is Article 4A and its four conditions, with Article 5 presuming the status until a competent tribunal decides.

Two faults in the printing are worth knowing. Question 2 asks about the humanization of WELFARE during maritime conflicts; it means WARFARE, and the answer is written on that footing. Question 5 asks about the role of the UN Relief and Rehabilitation Administration, which is a real body and was WOUND UP IN 1947: it was created by forty four nations at the White House on 9 November 1943 as a relief and repatriation agency, it had no power to resettle anyone who refused to go home, and its refugee work passed to the International Refugee Organization and then, under the Statute adopted on 14 December 1950, to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. Treating it as a current agency is the single easiest way to fail that question.
