I would recommend writing your essay in 30 minutes then if you have more time at the end you can expand on any points as necessary. Though honestly if you do have time left, prioritise short answer (unless you wrote a really rough draft for your essay) because it’s easier to get marks from SA than your extended response.
Justice is basically the idea of how to implement ethics in practice. An important part of justice is how to punish a party when ethics are undermined. Also, ethics (in VCE global politics) refer strictly to cosmopolitan ideology, it does not encompass realism.
Mentioning international laws would be useful in this case.

Ok thankyou!
I am just confused I thought ethics was both realism and cosmopolitanism?

You can chuck in a brief sentence in your intro such as “this essay specifically looks at the usage of terrorism as an instrument of state policy” or something like that to make it even clearer. There’s no rule that says you must focus on both equally.

Nope, just cosmopolitanism. This is according to the official definition given in VCAA's global politics glossary page.
Ethics
This seeks to address questions of morality and extends into global politics through the creation and application of international laws that attempts to codify the behaviour of global actors in the pursuit of cosmopolitan goals.

Hi---for the ethical debates essay, would they ask you to discuss only ONE ethical issue? Because my essay plan takes into account two ethical issues. Should I practise another paragraph so that my whole essay could plan to only talk about one ethical issue?

Yes. On the 2018 exam they asked for only one ethical issue. On the sample exam, they asked for at least one.
You should definitely aim to do preparations around writing on both one AND two issue(s) because VCAA can ask for either on the exam.
This goes for Unit 4 AOS 2 global crises as well - they can ask for one or two.
