What type of legal action can the government take against those in violation of public international law?

Negotiation
Mediation
Sanction
Litigation

The correct answer is: Sanction

Public international law refers to the rules and principles governing the relationships between states and international organizations. In cases of violation of public international law, the government has the option to pursue legal action against the offending party. This can come in the form of sanctions, which can include economic, diplomatic, or military measures taken to penalize the violating state and encourage compliance with international law. Negotiation and mediation are typically used as methods of resolving disputes between states, but they are not considered legal actions. Litigation, on the other hand, involves taking a dispute to court, which is not always feasible or effective in international law. Sanctions are therefore the most appropriate and effective legal action that can be taken by the government in cases of violation of public international law.
