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 ...

1. In the 1790s, as America was still forging its identity, global events such as the French Revolution and the fight between Britain and France led America to reconsider the ways it would conduct itself as a free nation – Jefferson believed it would lead to populist government, while Washington and Hamilton feared it “raised the specter of anarchy” (Foner 297). Political divisions in America included the argument between Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson, who had differing ideas of how to economically expand the country’s power (Hamilton through England, Jefferson through westward expansion). 2. Thomas Jefferson accomplished a great ...

In order to ensure peace and prosperity of a country, most governments have employed the use of stringent rules and regulations to govern people. However, some people stray away from the common perception of government and embrace anarchy. Anarchy is basically opposite of what the government stands for, anarchism is a political ideology (Carter, 1971) that holds the state undesirable and harmful while advocating for stateless institutions. The view of anarchists stray away from the commons masses and more often they tend to go extreme and cause social disturbance and unrest (Gage, 2009)as was the case of the ...

Korea was bisected at the end of the Second World War, as a response to the differing political climates which each half of the peninsula espoused – North Korea preferred the communism of the Soviet Union, while South Korea was more in line with the policies and politics espoused by the west, the U.S. in particular.

Presentation Notes

Many have said that America was built on the backs of immigration and minorities that settled in America. There is a lot of evidence to support this, as the Irish and German immigrants that came in waves during the 1880s were often used for cheap labor. In addition, African-Americans were used as slave labor until the conclusion of the Civil War, playing an important part in the development of the country. In addition, Native Americans were also prominently involved in the process, but certainly not in a positive way; this is because the United States government used resettlement techniques ...

It started in the United States during the early settlements of the Europeans and ended with the Civil War. During that time, slavery existed both in the North and South. There was a time when slavery was equal in both regions. However, when ...

Background

The Multifibre Agreement was developed in 1974 and governed the world’s textile sector until 2004 when it was phased-out.

The existence of the agreement allowed the Bangladesh textile industry to flourish in the 20th century and early 21st century. It was highly expected that the phase-out of the MFA would greatly affect Bangladesh negatively as the country was highly dependent on ...

ADMIRALTY RATINGS

Remember, there is a distinction between the rating for the source and the rating for the information. The source reliable code is another way of stating how credible the source is based on its ability to acquire the information being provided and how the source has performed historically.

The rating for information accuracy is based on the level of certainty that it is a true fact. High source reliability does not provide full confirmation. For example, an A-rated source may pass misinformation due to organizational errors or deliberate action, such as counterespionage efforts. The level of confirmation is based ...

As much as there has been the creation of employment opportunities massively generated by the oil industry in the Middle East and North African nations, there are still significant disparities on the level of women participation in the labor force as noted by Massoud and Moghadam (53).

A Review of the Literature

If asked to name the “national dish of Britain,” the average person is likely to say, “there is nothing more British than fish and chips,” but he or she might be wrong as it all depends on the criteria used to determine the national dish (Castelow, 2013). If popularity is the yardstick, then fish and chips would miss the mark, since each year in the UK it is outsold by hamburgers, fried chicken, pizza, and Indian and Chinese food (Alexander, 2009). And while this is true, fish and chips still play a vital role in the economic success of ...

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.

A centralized approach was key to putting the country back on track. Hence, a meeting was held in the Pennsylvania ...

Indentured Servants

Introduction

At the beginning of the seventeenth century a lot of labor market institutions were created with the purpose of promoting the movement of labor.

Why the North Won the Civil War

As many understand now, the Confederacy’s economy was based almost entirely on what it could produce agriculturally. Essentially, the economy was built on the backs of slaves and when the war began, there was only one iron foundry south of the Mason Dixon line. Confederate leaders remained sure this, as well as cotton and other agricultural endeavors would be enough to see the states through the war and beyond. They may have been correct in believing this at the time, as Britain relied heavily on the cotton resources to continue their textile industries, and Confederate leaders assumed if ...

In my opinion, the most important problem of today is the lack of fresh water. Global freshwater resources are threatened because the need for it has been increased in the variety of areas. More and more people need more water (demographic reasons). Thus climate change is likely to contribute to the occurrence of droughts (climate cause). Fresh water is 3% of the total water volume. Approximately 75% of the world's fresh water is contained in glaciers and icebergs; almost all of the remaining water is mainly located in underground aquifers (Rinkesh). Only 1% of water supplies is readily accessible ...
