Review and revise
Use these criteria to check your work and choose what to improve.
- Responsibility map preserves domestic actors and institutional mandate limits.
- Organ/task reference accurately separates UN organs from specialist institutions.

The idea in everyday life
Fictional River R crosses States A and B. Each has its own flood-warning agency; water-level data need sharing; news draft says the UN now directly runs every household’s evacuation. No UN decision or legal instrument is supplied.
An international issue can require domestic action and cooperation between states. An institution’s mandate is not automatic authority to command every individual; use its actual legal basis and decision type.
Separate domestic and international questions — supplied practice
An international issue can require domestic action and cooperation between states. An institution’s mandate is not automatic authority to command every individual; use its actual legal basis and decision type.
Fictional River R crosses States A and B. Each has its own flood-warning agency; water-level data need sharing; news draft says the UN now directly runs every household’s evacuation. No UN decision or legal instrument is supplied.
1. Step 1
Locate domestic operational actors.
You should see: A and B flood-warning agencies operate under their own stated domestic arrangements.
2. Step 2
Identify the cross-border coordination need.
You should see: Share comparable water-level data and warning timing.
3. Step 3
Identify the unsupported news authority claim.
You should see: No supplied instrument establishes UN control of household evacuation.
4. Step 4
Write a bounded division of work.
You should see: Domestic agencies act; states may cooperate internationally. Any claimed international command needs the actual instrument and legal basis.
What to finish
A domestic/cooperation responsibility map.
Watch for this
Assuming an international problem creates unlimited institutional authority.
How can I tell I understand it?
Distinguish the national implementation task from the cross-border coordination task and name their different responsible actors.
