Essays on Humanitarian

Introduction

Humanitarian intervention as a concept can be traced back to the seventeenth century. This is the time when the foundations for the contemporary internationally recognized system of sovereignty of states and the principle that such sovereign states have control over all the matters within their borders was established. Since them, the concept has been reformed to enable the international community through the United Nations to protect citizens within sovereign states from human rights abuse, civil wars, ethnic cleansing and political abuse (Piereson, 2013). Although the United Nations charter does not allow the intervention in sovereign states, various humanitarian crises since ...

Abstract

Humanitarian response to the earthquake that hit Haiti in 2000 was from National Government and Non-Governmental Organizations. Support in form of rescue and relief workers got sent to Haiti. Humanitarian supplies got directly supplied to areas directly affected by the earthquake. National fund raising got organized in an effort to provide monetary support. Medical staff got sent and security personnel too. The urgency of the response to Haiti is important and the response to the appeal of donation. Use of questionnaires was quite helpful as it provided the best sample for the research. There was strong support for the humanitarian ...

Ma (2011, p. 876) defines information sharing in supply chain as an activity that facilitates the communication among partners ...

Introduction

Literature Review Psychologists have previously considered societal norms, behaviors, attitudes, communication of knowledge and observations made by others as determinants of intergroup beliefs. Several studies have provided support for this premise. These studies have demonstrated that there exists consensus among the stereotypical beliefs of different individuals. These studies also showed that prejudice and stereotyping result from clearly defined and established group norms. The studies also found that racial attitudes of different individuals differ depending on the societal norms professed in the immediate environment. This shows that individuals exhibit relatively favorable intergroup attitudes that are dependent in the beliefs ...

Human rights are not only inalienable, but also universal. The failure of the international community to intervene has resulted in the brutal violations of these rights in multiple states, perhaps best underscored by the on-going conflict and humanitarian crisis in Darfur (United Nations 1; UNICEF 1). Against the background of the Darfur crisis, this paper sets forth the international norms/law on humanitarian intervention, as well as uses international relations theories to determine the legitimacy of intervention in Darfur. It asserts that genocide and other grave (and widespread) crimes against humanity in the region are extreme injustices that threaten humanity ...

The American policy is exhibiting more and more concerns in that it usually emphasizes that the free world security as well as freedom principles are more important even though the global threats are on its door. The United States’ involvement is something that has been witnessed all over throughout the years and this powerful country has come to be seen as a salvation to some people. The advancement of US support in the various world crises is still a controversial matter given that some think negatively about it as well as others think of it more positively. Nonetheless, the US military ...

Question 1

Widespread atrocities that were witnessed in the end of the twentieth century, and in particular the ones, associated with the NATO intervention in Kosovo, make the issue of humanitarian intervention topical for legal political and international ethical studies. The issue of humanitarian intervention’s morality is frequently viewed as a part of more general question of morality of war, because reality of humanitarian intervention is close to the one of the war (Coady,2002,p. 11). Adherents of different theories of international ethics offer mutually excluding approaches towards acceptability of humanitarian interventions. Grounded on moral universalism, cosmopolitan approach justifies humanitarian ...

Abstract

The mission of the United States police force on terrorism and threats from countries in the Middle East such as Afghanistan is to foster peaceful coexistence within states and other nations. Their involvement in the provision of humanitarian support to the civilians in Libya during the military crackdown in 2011for instance was contributed to by the foreign policies that arose after the Second World War (Beasley, 2013).

There are international incidences that have involved operation of the United States police force in the past five years include:

- Provision of humanitarian support to the Libyan civilians during a military crackdown in response to the uprising curfew in Gadhafi’s reign. - The war and threats against nuclear terrorism in ...

Introduction

In the post-Cold War era, complex humanitarian emergencies have become a significant security, political and public health element. Man-made disasters have become responsible for more mortality and morbidity than all technological and natural disasters combined (Brennan & Nandy, 2001). Usually, in such disasters, the most affected are populations. As such, these populations experience serious public health problems that are coupled with breakdown of basic health services, food scarcity and displacement of persons. The World Health Organization (2013) defines a complex emergency as “a humanitarian crisis in a society, region or country, whereby there is considerable or total collapse of authority, often as a result of ...

Revolution in military

Revolution in military affairs can be attributed to use of new processes and new tools of waging war like system of systems, command and control, as well as network-centric warfare, all driven by information technology. The term “Revolution in Military Affairs” is used to refer to a major shift in the nature of fighting which is as a result of the application of new technologies which adjusts the nature and accomplishment of military actions, when these technologies are pooled with organizational and operational concepts as well as vivid changes in military doctrine, (Theodor, 1995, pp.3-9).

Abstract

Disasters and emergencies happen a lot of times every year. At some point, it can be argued that their occurrence is inevitable as disasters and emergencies, or even crises, are bound to happen; and that it is not a question of if but when they are going to happen . Keeping that in mind, it would be important to know how the basic and different operational definitions of disasters and emergencies; how society has coped up with them and the different specific strategies and standards set in place to appropriately address them such as but not limited to mitigation steps and strategies, ...

FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND IMMIGRATION REFORMS INTRODUCTION On November 20 2014, President Obama spoke on immigration and stated, “We were strangers once, too. And whether our forebears were strangers who crossed the Atlantic, or the Pacific, or the Rio Grande, we are here only because this country welcomed them in, and taught them that to be an American is about something more than what we look like, or what our last names are, or how we worship”. The United States of America has existed as a country with many immigrants originating from those who initially crossed the bridge that ...

Violations of Peremptory Norms committed by Syria

Abstract The unrest in Iraq and Egypt in early 2011, as well as the outbreak of a full-blown civil war in Syria later that same year, has led to an intricate web of interstate security dynamics. The civil war in Syria has extended unabated, killing more than 100,000 people and displacing millions more. Western military intervention with air strikes on the Assad regime may get forestalled with a possible UN-backed plan to counteract Syria's chemical arms stockpiles. The essay looks into the dishonor of the Peremptory Norms from the beginning of the crisis until now. The Peremptory Norms are ...

Introduction

NATO or the North Atlantic Treaty Organization is an agreement between participating countries to support and give assistance to other allied countries who have signed treaty to the agreement. This concept of supporting each other and giving each member a sense of security when it comes to attacking elements from external parties give members of the organization a chance to grow and give attention to aspects of development without necessarily being fully or over-concerned about how they are going to fair in case military operations rise against them. Considerably, NATO’s role is to serve as the safety-net that every country ...

Introduction

Iraq War is one of modern world’s most long lasting conflicts. Having started in 2003 with the invasion of the U.S. armed forces in Iraq in 2003, aiming at changing existing political regime of Saddam Hussein, and ended only in 2011, the war was concerned with variety of long-term effects-related events for the people of Iraq, namely extremely high costs of the war, severe humanitarian crises and wide range of human rights abuses, being committed by Iraqi government, coalition forces and private contractors, as well as insurgent groups. With these events of war in mind I will be ...

It is 1.3 miles wide and 600 feet high with a reservoir stretch of 405 square miles. The building of this dam has been controversial given the consequences it has had to the immediate society where it is located, and the benefits it has accrued to the nation (Shaw, 2010). It is a professional expectation that all aspects of engineering must be aimed at the protection of the public in health, ...

The September 30, 2013 news article in the Voice of America namely “UN seeks action on Syrian Humanitarian crisis” states that the United Nations having arrived at a consensus with the Syrian authorities over the elimination of the stockpiles of chemical weapons, the UN Security Council is developing a strategy to enhance humanitarian access in the war torn nation. Over the recent past, Security Council members; Luxembourg and Australia have been documenting the humanitarian issues in Syria. As Besheer states, the council finally ended the two year deadlock on Syria through the unanimous agreement to a resolution which demanded the Syrian authorities ...

Abstract

Whether or not slaves were owned by free African Americans back when slavery was actually an institution in the United States is one of the most perplexing questions in African-American history. While some Americans might not be aware of and might not have suspected this, but truth, which will be discussed in this paper, is that black people in the country indeed purchased and sold other black people as slaves. In fact, there were black slave owners in the United State since 1654 and they continued to own slaves through the Civil War. This paper will answer many perplexing ...

Question One

Undoubtedly, the terrorist events attendant to the Terrorist attacks of the World Trade Center in New York and Washington on September 11, 2001 provided the instantaneous spark or rather excuse for what has been referred to as the War on Terror. This represented a coming to a head of the development of many theories in security studies to explain the events before and after 9/11. The three theories selected to explain the explanatory power or lack thereof when applied to 9/11 are Realism, Social Constructivism, and Liberalism.

Realism encompasses as a sequence of methods in security studies that are used to examine ...

Arguably, disasters to some extent are unavoidable since some are unpredictable, but the best option is the response of emergence and disaster preparedness. Disasters take place regardless of economic, political, or social, background of a nation. In fact, disasters refer to the convergence of various hazards with several vulnerabilities. As such, increase in environmental, physical, economic or social vulnerability can imply an increase in disaster frequency in a region. Despite the discriminative aspect, on disaster occurrence, there is a correlation between risk and poverty, in that disaster leads to measurable decline in human development, income, as well as consumption. Perhaps these effects ...

Humanitarian Law

In furtherance of its role of re-affirming faith in fundamental human rights which include but not limited to freedom not to be held in slavery or servitude, freedom from being treated in inhumanly and other forms of oppression. The United Nations Charter in Article 1 encapsulates the need to maintain international peace and security. It provides the means to this end by expressly stating that some of the effective measures that can aid nations in this war against violence, aggression and breach of peace for secure and safe co-existence is by inter alia developing friendly relations among different the ...

Questions of Law and Terrorism

1. International Law Public international law, or international law as it is more commonly known, refers to the body of laws that regulate the interactions among and relations between nations. Increasingly, international law has expanded to include jurisdiction over international governmental organizations such as the United Nations, and non-state actors such as individuals and groups, such as Osama bin Laden or more recently ISIS (Joyner, 2005). No understanding of international law is complete without first understanding its sources. According to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), the judicial arm of the United Nations, the sources of international ...

Global Force of Good: The United States of America

Since the end of the Second World War and the Cold War, the United States has often been regarded as the world’s most powerful nation today. In the political, economic and social sector, the country often served as the leader of the international community while some saw the country as a role model for change and democracy. However, in times of conflict and disasters, the United States is one of the first few who would respond and send in the US military to help nations in need. Critics may find this action by the United States questionable considering the ...

Shortly after the terrorist attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C. on September 11, 2001, Congress passed the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act. As a result of real concerns over the security of the nation as well as more than a little mass hysteria over America’s vulnerability in the new age of global terror, the 342-page long USA PATRIOT Act, as it is popularly known, sailed through Congress a mere 45 days after the attacks with little debate or analysis but with broad bipartisan support. Indeed, in the Senate, the ...

Abstract Australia is one of the top three countries for refugee resettlements. The Australian Government has successfully established a responsive humanitarian program that aims to assist and protect refugees and facilitate their resettlement and integration in Australian society. Australia aims to help various groups including African refugees. In Australia, African refugees have developed a negative reputation because of their involvement in crime and their inability to gain employment, thus, fueling their dependency on welfare and the Government’s other services. These factors have contributed to African refugees’ social identity in Australia. Since African refugees came from poor developing countries in ...

Literature Review covering Media and Politics

Introduction Media and politics come hand in hand because they combine to convey information to the public.

Introduction

The humanitarian disaster in the Darfur region of Sudan has been brutal and persistent but resisted clear understanding of the internal factors that have driven the violence. Violence between the region’s nomadic and sedentary tribal groups has resulted in a death toll that some believe reaches into the hundreds of thousands among the region’s multi-ethnic tribes. In the modern era, resolving systematic ethnic violence on such a scale is a complex matter requiring substantial political and military international pressure. The content of media coverage from inside Sudan, in the Arab world and throughout the West has done little to improve ...

Purpose

Today, Christianity and Islam are the religions of the world that are practiced by the first and second largest group of people, respectively (Major Religions of the World Ranked by Number of Adherents, 2007). However, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world today (The List: The World’s Fastest-Growing Religions, 2007). Are the wars of this era, which are mostly in the form of terrorism or instigated by it, only a means to establish the power of a religion? Being the center of the world’s technological development and being acknowledged as a superpower of the current era, is it ...

“I am no bird: and no net ensnares me: I am a free human being with an independent will” is a quote by Charlote Bronte in her novel Jane Eyre.

When choosing the path and direction of my future, I have often incorporated my goals and childhood dreams in my studies and my work. I have not left any gaping opportunities for anyone to compromise my will and desire to attain a fulfilled life in terms of career and ...

Introduction

It is known that our country has faced many catastrophic events that Americans had to challenge during the centuries. And the number of such catastrophes as tornados, earthquakes, floods, tsunamis and hurricanes has doubled during the last decade. These disasters can be predicted with the help of modern technologies and special radars, although the outcomes for people, cities and nature are unknown until the catastrophe occurs. This inability to be absolutely ready and well-prepared, as well as the general defenselessness of social masses and local specialists for the possible damages and their aftermaths is the main reason for creation ...

Beginning as non-governmental consultants to the United Nations, the number of NGOs across the world has witnessed exponential growth since the 1980s.

Socio-political conflicts often give rise to civil unrest or civil war. A number of countries that have plunged in civil war often depend on foreign aid as a response to humanitarian needs. Arguably, since the population is in civil conflict, the nation may not have time to concentrate on economic activities. The consequences war includes civilian casualties that are in need of humanitarian assistance and lack of economic development among other factors. A considerable number of studies seem to point on both positive and negative consequence of foreign aid in peace and war (Kang and Meernik 147). A school of ...

Introduction

The collapse of the Soviet Union between 1989 and 1991 meant that the countries that were formerly under its rule and control were now free. However, many of these countries that were formerly under the rule of the Soviet Union encountered great difficulties in reclaiming their national and independent identities. One of the countries that faced great difficulty was Yugoslavia. First the integrity of this country was hugely questioned. The nation functioned as an unstable assemblage of people of various ethnic groups. These include Croats, Serbs, and Bosnian Muslims. The country eventually split into various competing factions. Serbia and ...

The US government has played a critical role in expanding its foreign aid to other global nations. Despite the fact that the US has given direct support to many nation-states around the world, it is important to note that the US is one of the developed nations that deal with hunger and poverty problems. Also, the debt ceiling in the US has risen over the years to about $17 trillion because of US offering aid to other nations such as Israel, Egypt, Ethiopia and Nigeria among other nation-states (Eberstadt, 2009, p.116). Thus, the US should limit their involvement in foreign ...

Social consensus information is one of the things that have influence on inter-group attitudes. However, the most essential thing is that there is a significance of the way in which individuals get into the group that provides the consensus information. Ideally the term consensus means a collective idea or opinion about specific times. To insist on the need to have a consensus, it is determined at making the general agreement (Sechrist, 2007). This report aims at making detailed analysis about the social consensus information and the level at which it can cause can influence the humanitarian help. The research from which this ...

Australia’s current legislative approaches regarding asylum seekers are a strongly contested area of public policy. The issue of where and how to process the growing number of asylum seekers that arrive at the border has become a significant matter in terms of 2013 Australian federal elections campaign.

In the past, the Labour Government has considered various countries to launch offshore processing, such as Papua New Guinea, Malaysia and Nauru. However, these potential solutions have met with legal obstacles to prevent them from going ahead. Similarly, the future reforms promised by ...

Introduction

It goes without saying that life without peace and tranquility is of no relevance. The very purpose of living is defeated if there is an absence of just, equitable, peaceful, and ethical existence of human minds or societies. One of the bitter examples is the brutal end of the Qaddafi rule in Libya. Undoubtedly, it makes good sense to assume that the military rule can not provide stability in the long term. It further teaches us a lesson that peaceful co-existence of people or countries depends on the mutual accommodation, understanding, fundamental liberty, respect, and honor of one another’s ...
