This means that a nation referred to a given cultural identity of a group of people (Hansen, 2012, p.25). A state can be classified as a form of political authority that is part of a country and constitutes a given political authority. Thus, the term nation-state is functional because it gives people a sense of nationalism. All nation-states around the globe ...

War or military interventions need to be the last option as it could affect peace, security and stability of the world. But it does not mean that human rights violations at regional or international levels need to be ignored or tolerated by the world.

So in the case of Syria, there is need to develop a strategic solution to the crisis that is affecting millions of ...

The Syrian internal conflict continues to attract international attention especially after the Assad led government alleged gassed hundreds of civilians including children to death using chemical weapons. The United States of America through its presidency has insisted that Assad and his cronies would not and should not be allowed to use chemical weapons. In this week’s proposal the President seems to have mellowed on his vow to intervene militarily. The proposal flouted by President Obama entails the pursuit of a diplomatic option. In his proposal, Syria would have to hand over any and every element of chemical weapons in ...

OPPRESSION AND ESCALATION

Introduction -
National Public Radio recently reported that the civil conflict in Syria claimed more than 6,000 lives during March 2013. Such carnage in a revolution that began as a peaceful nonsectarian protest is bloody proof that Syria is ground zero for the worst violence produced by the so-called “Arab Spring,” the unrest that has swept across the Arab world since early 2011.
