According to Davies, there are several health issues around the world that should get appropriate attention concerning the infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS. Therefore, the international relations (IR) should approach the health issues while considering the security of individuals (globalists) and the states (statist).

However, the international relations can only afford to contribute and practice health issues through security languages.

Whereas most criminal acts are local in nature; transnational crimes can be local, national and global at the same time (Luban et al., 2010).

What seems to be the cause of the conflict?

The core of the conflict is a toxic organizational culture, which has been allowed to emerge over overtime. An organizational culture comprises numerous aspects, key among them being communication, leadership, collective values, mission/vision, practices, diversity management, regulations/policies, place, and organizational narrative. The leadership failure created by the past operational manager, particularly his appointment of supervisors without a moral authority over the employees, resulted in a complete breakdown in leadership, which when coupled with the lack of formal policies (and best practices) in issues such as the use of radio and stringent recruitment checks, resulted into conflict, ill motivation, belligerency, ...

Therefore, in order to minimize the impact of such problems and transform challenges into new opportunities, managers of international development projects need to use proven, modern techniques of project and stakeholder management (Richardson, et al 2015:12).

Copyright, inventive and the like rights are usually called exclusive rights, i.e., absolute legal rights, ...
