Issue: Criminal Accountability of UN Officials on mission

Position: Head Chair/Co-Chair Introduction The criminal accountability of the UN Officials on mission is one of the legal issues, which has been debated through the Legal Committee for numerous years. The legal gaps make it difficult for the UN to hold personnel accountable for crimes committed in the missions under its jurisdiction. The UN personnel are being currently accountable only to their countries and their legislation or being protected by the international legal statute of immunity. The lack of accountability makes the whole organization less credible and reliable. With two different groups of UN personnel the troop contributing countries ...

Climate change poses many risks to the lives of children. Because of the increase in temperature and extreme weather conditions brought by climate change, many communities are expected to suffer from food and water scarcity and perilous diseases and health complications. More disasters and humanitarian crises would bring long-term displacements and disruption to educational and economic activities (UNICEF, p.8). Given this situation, the future of children at the worldwide scale remains under peril. Governments and other agencies concerned on the welfare of children must do something to address this worsening situation, or the children will pay the price. Climate ...

1. Management Failure A closer examination of this incident shows that there is a management failure in several aspects. One of which is in its failure in its failure to train its staff in properly dealing with hotel guests and others who drops by the hotel. The lack of appropriate customer relations skill was its manifested when the convention exhibitor asked for an assistance about his packages. That is, the visitor requested if the first guest-service agent could call and find out about the package. It is noted that the service-agent remembers the arrival of the package, however, instead ...

Question 1 Response: Creating a new Constitution was vital to the unity of the United States of America since the Articles of Confederation weren’t sufficient for good government. If there was any evidence of this, it was that the United States was clearly bankrupt and now needed to be organized in such a manner that both the States and the Federal government had to share power in such a manner that everyone’s interests were kept in mind. A centralized approach was key to putting the country back on track. Hence, a meeting was held in the Pennsylvania ...

Democracy, for all its empowering aspects, isn't still practiced by every nation on this planet. Much like the Soviet Union, which collapsed on itself in the early 90s, there are a number of states in today's world that continue to be totalitarian in nature. For those living in democratic countries, this term might not be familiar and its practices even more so even if a business might want to expand to emerging markets that are controlled by their respective governments very different from the model that the United States among other democratic countries. While the definition of democracy is ...

Washington Street, penned by Henry James, is a work of realist fiction, which takes on the cliché plot line of a traditional romance. In essence, a plain, naive, and inherently good young woman is pursued by an older man with ulterior motives. From within this traditional plot structure, James explores the nature of relationships, with a particular interest in marriage. Overall, he presents marriage as a troupe established for social purposes and essentially forming a simplistic social contract, with romance removed, or ruined by the interplay of social demands and questionable motives. This can be directly contrasted with the ...

Introduction

For the last two decades the popularity of the international investment arbitration and legislation has been dramatically increased. The volume of cases considered by virtue of the interpretation of the provisions of the bilateral investment treaties signed between the parties of the commercial relations has been increased.

Family law refers to the body of laws, rules, and guidelines that regulate issues arising from or relate to marriages, civils unions, and other forms of domestic partnerships. Naturally, children are a focus area of family law. Furthermore, adoption, or the assumption by one person or couple of the parenting rights of a child from the child’s biological parent, is a key element of family law’s focus on children. Interestingly systematic rules for adoption is a fairly recent addition to family law. That is to say, the formal and legal adopting a child is a modern concept. ...

The rule of law requires a fair access to justice for England and Wales as well as any other sovereign country with a governing constitution.

The rediscovery of Mendel's works on heredity in 1900 became the foundation to investigate more on genetics. However, the acceleration of the study of genetics was slow, taking more than half a century later for Watson and Crick to crack the chemical basis of heredity. In fact, their proposal, the double helical structure of DNA, became the beginning of modern biology. Over the next 30 years, the advent of recombinant DNA technology allowed us to sequence specific DNA segments (Collins & McKusick, 2001). Note that mapping specific regions of a particular DNA offers explanations to many traits, including behaviors, disorders, ...

– Bill of Rights is a kind of an informal document, which has a direct bearing on the Constitution. If one defines it more precisely, it can be said that it is the so-called first ten amendments to the US Constitution itself, which had been proposed by James Madison, which were related to the rights and freedoms of people. – John Adams became the first Vice President. After George Washington was declared the US president, Adams was appointed as Vice President and was re-elected to the same position for the second time in 1792 (Perman 18). He did a very hard ...

For the two main parties of the American political system, there is no busier time than the months-long period just before a presidential election.

Upon watching the video “Side-by-side of Melania Trump, Michelle Obama speeches“, it is inevitable to come to the conclusion that Melania plagiarized Michelle Obama’s speech. This video highlights the fact that Melania used the same words in the attempt to express the same ideas which Michelle expressed during the Democratic National Convention 8 years ago. There is no doubt about the fact that these ideas might be regarded as common ground for expressing the values of the humanity as a whole, but Melania Trump’s speech consisted of the words and phrases which were an important part of ...

The present scenario evidently indicates the requirement of safeguarding protected health information (PHI) of the patients undertaking treatment across various medical facilities. The qualified nurse in the existing scenario surpassed the legal, ethical and professional conventions while encountering a traumatized lead singer in the clinical setting.

Public debate over the need for establishment of powerful, effective, and accessible mechanisms of human rights protection can be heard worldwide and at all the levels, including the official one. Agreeing with Lord Tom Bingham, the prominent judge and scholar in the field of the rule of law principle development, we should highlight that this process took place long time ago. The author defines Magna Carta, passed in in 1215, as the first milestone of this process, when a lawful judgment was necessary for, in particular, person’s detention or imprisonment (Bingham 10). Not only the previous century has ...

The following primary documents include two antifederalist essays and three federalist essays that were published in newspapers three to six months following the Constitutional Convention. The antifederalists aimed to convince the states that the new constitution would not work while the federalists hoped to gain support and ratification of the new constitution. In 1787 and 1788, when the essays were written, the new country was struggling. The Articles of Confederation were not sufficient, and the fears that resulted in the Revolutionary War were still very fresh in the minds of everyone.

SUMMARY OF THE ESSAYS

THE ANTIFEDERALIST NO. 18-20 WHAT DOES HISTORY TEACH? ( ...

The United States had two constitutions to regulate and establish the rights and state orders. Articles of Confederation came into force in 1781, when Maryland ratified it and it was the first Constitution of the United States (Fritz C. G., 2008, p.131). The Constitution came to replace the Articles of Confederation when it was ratified by New Hampshire in 1788. These two documents have much in common. However, there are quite significant differences between them. By comparing them it is possible to see what the drafters considered important in 1781, and that they changed their minds in 1788. Articles ...

In general, bribery is defined as a practice of offering something that is most usually money, with the purpose of gaining an illicit advantage. Historically, bribery is considered to be one of the simplest and oldest types of crimes. It has been existed already since the inception of the United States. The anti-bribery clause is even included in the American Constitution, and the reason of it is that this form of crime is a serious threat to the government and the justice system. (In Depth Look Into Bribery, n.d.) The main issue regarding whether or not an action is ...

Marriage is a tradition that is practiced and honored all over the world. It signifies the birth of a relationship that grants couples the privilege to build families and an enduring kinship ties. Studies show that people who are happily married have more desirable benefits and experiences than those who are unmarried, cohabiting, widowed, or separated (Shariff 557). Specifically, married individuals have better parenting styles, stronger support systems, greater economic security, greater financial resources, healthier psychological status, more desirable emotional wellbeing, greater physical health, and longer life. Marriage practices in Western countries are different from those of other societies. ...

Climate change is having many impacts, but perhaps the most worrying of these is the rise in sea levels expected through ocean warming and melting of polar sea ice. Climate change is being caused by the increase in atmospheric greenhouse gases (GHG), caused by the burning of fossil fuels, which is impacting upon the Greenhouse Effect. The tiny nation of Kiribati, located in the central Pacific Ocean, is perhaps one of the most vulnerable nations on earth to be affected by climate change. Comprising a land area of only 800 square kilometers, its coral atolls and reef islands are ...

The U.S. Bill of Rights The Bill of Rights was proposed and passed through twelve amendments but only ten were successfully ratified and became part of the United States Constitution, which was at first considered incomplete because it lacked what proponents called the basic human rights. The common belief at that time was that the framing and ratification of the Bill of Rights was to eliminate fears of the Anti-Federalists that the proposed Constitution did not satisfactorily guarantee individual freedoms. Even if individual liberty was important during the debate for the bill of rights, the Bill of Rights was ...

Introduction

Thesis Statement: Kantian ethics, as a utilitarian view, holds that man is the end of the act to be benefitted from instead of the means to achieve the goal. One of the most denigrating crimes known to man, the trade in people is a crime that impacts the global community. Traffickers trick men, women, and children from almost every country and then “sell” them to traders looking to exploit their situation. Though the most prevalent form of human trafficking is for the illicit sex trade, others are sold into slavery, and even at times into syndicates ...

Dear Appeals Committee,

The main issue I would like to argue is the passing grade of my essay dedicated to the topic of the role of the Seneca Falls Convention in women rights movement. The criteria used for the assessment of the essay included critical reading, thinking, and writing that reached a grade 6 with the minimum necessary grade of 7. First of all, I have to note that neither of the parts of the paper was graded as poor and were rated either good or fair. Secondly, I would like to mention that the paper followed all instructions and included all ...

Human trafficking is defined as the action of moving an individual or individuals from one geographical area to another without their consent. It need not be across boarders asbelieved by a large percentage of individuals but it can be within the same country (trans-nationally). People are in most instances trafficked due to various reasons but in most instances, they are trafficked in order to be forced into hard labor, be forced into commercial sex workers and at times they may be trafficked in order for their organs to be extracted or further be used as surrogates in their new ‘ ...

Human Rights for Orphans and Abandoned Children without Adequate Care

The issue of human rights of children is regulated by the Convention on the Rights of the Child with its Protocols. They refer to the protection of a child, prohibition of child labor and other issues that are fundamentally important and protect children’s dignity. However, some categories of children require special attention and care with this respect. The human rights of orphans and abandoned children constitute a specific issue, as they have fewer chances to be protected by parents and relatives. Therefore, as a violation of their rights may seem easier, these children need more legal protection. The ...

Question 1

The federal government attempted to smooth over problems in the relationship between labor and management during World War 1 by extending the industrial disputes investigation act to war production. Why did labor oppose this action? With the increased strained relation between labor and management during the World War 1, the government saw the extension of IDIA as the inevitable solution, a move that occasioned even much opposition from the labor movement. Much of the contention traces roots to the recent experiences. The experiences among the employees can be traced to the Kaiserian and profiteering principle (Fudge & Tucker, 2015). Both ...

When Federalists and Anti-Federalists were debating about the new U.S. Constitution, one of the most controversial issues was the balance of power between the national and state governments. In order give more power to the national government, Federalists had to take into account Anti-Federalists’ views and introduce three branches of power that would be empowered to control each other. James Madison, one of America’s founding fathers, wrote in The Federalist Papers that “power is of an encroaching natureit ought to be effectually restrained from passing the limits assigned to it.” (Cited in The Federalist Papers Project 19). It ...

Cultural Diversity

In today’s society, during a new millennium, one can observe exceedingly great differences between cultures and lifestyles. All across the world there are, in fact, many various cultures that should be tasted by those who are eager to understand the whole universe. Though people can vary to the extreme, it is differences, but not the similarities that form strength. The thing is that the beauty of the world consists in the diversity of its people. Diversity is not just a characteristic of life, but an integral part of human existence such as air and water. On the one ...

Human Trafficking

There is a flourishing international trade in human beings. In camps in the jungles and elsewhere, the victims of these “human traders” brutalize, rape and at times kill those who fall prey to them. These groups “service” the needs of businessmen looking to use the cheap labor to maximize their profits (Stoakes, Ranong, and Kelly, 2015). One of the most prevalent forms of the commercial trade in humans is child labor; in places such as Africa, children are used to service the cocoa fields using extremely dangerous implements even in the hands of adults (Food Empowerment Project, 2016). ...

Seneca Falls, New York, July 19-20, 1848: The Women’s Rights Convention

Introduction The Seneca Falls Convention, which was held on July 19-20, 1848 in the Wesleyan Chapel in Seneca Falls, New York, was referred to as the first women’s right convention. It was through this convention that an organized women’s right movement was initiated in the United States. Many historians associated the Seneca Convention as part of Elizabeth Cady Stanton’s biography, owing to the fact that she was the event’s main organizer. In fact, it was only recently when the Seneca Convention was recognized by historians as a significant event in history (Lerner, 3). Consequently, it ...

A visual expression of human imagination or skills through painting or sculptures that are used to convey an idea is considered art. Every form of art can be explained to be a creation of materials, themes and results. As a product of its context, art involves the reflection of culture and time. The individuals and diverse people value these contexts, by which both have different notions of its significance depending on what they deem to be an aesthetic value to their culture. This essay is going to discuss how art is used to portray power, lamentation, and dependency on ...

It seems like nowadays the concept of feminism gained a negative connotation equating its followers as fanatics and usually mocking their intentions. This movement, which managed to bring freedom and rights to women, is considered today as obsolete and irrelevant, as society believed that females were fully liberated. However, it is far from being true. Female professionals are still paid less than their male counterparts, women are stilled viewed through the prism of patriarchal values, and the dissemination of power between men and women remains unequal to these days. In order to revive the memories of the achievements gained ...

The ideology of domesticity

The women played an important role in the ideology of domesticity. Domesticity is an act of living together in a family and a home.

The women were expected to perform different tasks at home for other family members. Later educating women through different manuals and conventions changed the concept of domesticity. The women started the feminist movement and were informed that both men and women have equal rights. The paper investigates that ...

Research Paper

Abstract Armed conflicts, both domestic and international, have used children in combat, either directly-- as soldiers-- or indirectly. Children are preferred by numerous commanders because they are more obedient, more easily persuaded, and more loyal than adults. However, this phenomenon has become a national and global issue because of the physical, emotional, and psychological damages it bring to the children who are involved in combat. The international community has actively addressed the issue through legal actions. The 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocols came into being as part of the efforts of the international community to protect ...

Abstract The Seneca Falls Women’s Rights Convention of 1848 was a pivotal point for women in the United States. Women had been voicing their concerns over their lack of rights as early as the 1700’s yet it was the Seneca Falls convention that created a public platform for the injustices against women to be expressed on a large scale for all to hear. The pioneers of this convention included Elizabeth Caddy Stanton, Lucretia Motts, Martha Wright, Jane Hunt, and Mary Ann McClintock. These brave women fought long and hard for the opportunity to bring attention to the ...

The article 2 of the Human Rights Act of 1998 is a fundamental provision that is usually invoked to safeguard the right to life of individuals and that which imposes the legal obligation of contracting states to take appropriate steps not only in refraining from taking life intentionally, but also to take the appropriate steps to safeguard life. This provision has become the controversy in many cases involving human rights torts, by virtue of the section 6 of the Act that provides a statutory cause of action against the public authorities or bodies. In many occasions the article 2 ...
