1. Do you think the cyber attack by North Korea against Sony Pictures amounts to a use of force, i.e., a violation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter? Why or why not?
a) Yes, because the cyber attack resulted in significant financial and reputational harm to Sony Pictures, constituting an act of aggression.
b) No, because cyber attacks do not constitute a use of force under international law.
c) Maybe, depending on the intent behind North Korea's actions and the interpretation of Article 2(4) of the UN Charter.
d) Unsure, as it is a complex legal and political issue.
2. Do you think a non-legally binding norm has value, or are they merely a waste of time?
a) Yes, non-legally binding norms can still shape behavior and create expectations for state conduct.
b) No, non-legally binding norms lack enforcement mechanisms and are therefore ineffective.
c) It depends on the context and the willingness of states to adhere to the norm voluntarily.
d) Unsure, as the effectiveness of non-legally binding norms varies depending on the specific circumstances.
