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 ...

Introduction

The Americans have been proud regarding the relationship of their military sector and the civilians throughout the history. One of the major reasons why United States takes pride to this relationship is the subordination of the military sector to the authority of the civilians.

Does war has differing effects among the affected? Is social justice guaranteed to those affected as a result of war?

He really suffered considering the success of the nation against his safety,” he added. “What triggered the war and what made my grandfather get involved in the war?” I asked.

This paper will use elements of persuasion to establish a case to prove that America must stay away from imposing its will on ...

Search and seizure legal procedures draw much controversy because most people have a high level of expectations regarding privacy. This high level of expectations can be traced back to England’s ‘castle doctrine’ wherein the law recognizes the right of a person to defend one’s home or property from unlawful entry (U.S. Government Publishing Office, 1992, p. 1199). Such expectations regarding privacy, however, is not absolute. In fact, the law provides that intrusion on private property can be made lawful under certain circumstances prescribed by the law.

People often juxtapose their world to the world of nature. More and more often modern people, in contrast to those living in ancient times, express an opinion that they are masters on the earth and, therefore, have a right to exercise dominion over animals, plants, and nature on the whole. However, in most cases, people are just slaves of circumstances and of the environment in which they happen to exist. Disgrace, a Booker-prize winning novel by J.M. Coetzee (1999), is all about that coexistence of the two worlds – the world of nature and the world of people who want ...

The primary difference between the speeches President Woodrow Wilson gave before Congress in January 1917 and January 1918 was his tone. Naturally, the tone that a president uses has a deep influence on a broad range of circumstances. While the focus of both speeches was the ongoing conflict in Europe and what the United States could do to help facilitate its resolution; the tone of the 1917 speech was more idealistic, hopeful and indefinite, and the 1918 speech was more practical, pessimistic and direct. In the 1917 speech, Wilson illustrated his hopefulness on the belief that the warring parties ...

The war between Israel and Palestine presents an important moral paradox and tragedy of this age. This is because on one hand, several innocent lives are being lost and, on the other hand, it is a war that must be fought by all means and has proven that it cannot be fought morally. In this regard, therefore, it may be said that the war is collateral for a better future. That stems from the justification and necessity that Israel had in waging war against the Hamas. Israel acted on self-defense since Hamas continued bombing Israel’s territories and its ...

As it is known from history, the German Empire was among four Central Powers that fought the Entente during World War I.

Entente powers, first of all the United Kingdom, desired to weaken Germany — then the most powerful state in continental Europe — permanently, especially in ...

Every period in the history of a country differs not only in a number and sequence of events happening, people playing critical roles in it, or culture which defines people’s attitudes and behaviors.

It is true that meaning of an idea changes with the flow of time depending on historical environment, on the complex of events which happen in the given period. Therefore, the idea of freedom has been changing through American history, and the goal of ...

Different cultures sustain various values, some of which are not even comparable with one another. Societies have myriad ways of expressing this, yet their cultural productions are some of the richest ways of understanding how they conceived the world.

Alcibiades, a young man who wants to enter politics, enters a dialogue with Socrates about the qualities of a good political leader. While he believes that his education and experiential knowledge are enough to make him a good politician, Socrates proves to him that he needs to learn about the true meaning of abstract and controversial concepts, such as justice or goodness before being able to counsel others about it. In particular, Socrates shows young Alcibiades that he does not have self-knowledge and persuades Alcibiades that a man who wants to enter politics first needs sufficient self- knowledge in ...

Buddhism, like all the other Eastern religions, originated from “Animism”, which is the belief that everything in the universe has an essence, a spirit or a soul.

Karma, which is either the positive or the negative effects of an individual’s actions. 3. ...

Dr. Steven Pinker states, that there is an obvious decrease of violence in all spheres of human life that is observed throughout the history. This decline of violence is gradual, and has been dropping until nowadays, when our time is named the most peaceful in the history (Pinker, 2013). Yet, this shrinking of violence has not been constant, has not reached zero point and the period of peace is not guaranteed to stay. His main arguments are documented signs of humans becoming less violent. That is decreasing of number of wars, number of deaths per war, shrinking the length ...

Cornell University, Country in Arial 9 Roxanne Grenier North America Abstract As of 2014, 38 million people worldwide have been driven out of their own homes by internal instabilities, armed conflict, and outbreaks of violence. The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) alone accounts for 2.8 million internally displaced persons (IDPs). In response, relief-driven charitable practices have consequently created a condition of permanent impermanence, perpetuating the problem of dependency, unemployment, and instability. This forced movement of culturally and geographically heterogeneous groups evokes questions of housing stability: How does migration impact the social, economic, and political standing of the refugees? Given ...

America and the Great War

Nationalism, imperialism and militarism are considered to be the three major causes to have set the stage for the Great War or the World War I (WWI).

John Locke wrote ‘The Letter Concerning Toleration’ among all people. At the time, there were diversities exhibited by people especially in matters regarding religions and faith. The letter called for toleration, bearing that Catholicism was taking root and becoming strong in Europe, especially in England.

For those who are not acquainted with the books of German writer Erich Maria Remarque, the title of the novel All Quite on the Western Front does not promise emotional reading. The first thought of it is that this book will tell its reader about ordinary, if not peaceful, but stable life. After the book has been read, there is an absolutely different attitude to it. The language of the novel is very simple and the readers catch themselves thinking that by chance they have an opportunity to read some notes in the diary of a young German soldier ...

Probably, the most striking thing for me while I took this course consisted in the subject of heroification. Usually, when I read or learn about a cult of a specific person or something I tend to believe it and not subject the person in question to much objectivity. However, during this course one of principal things I learnt (though totally not the most pleasant one, because getting disillusioned is never pleasant) was that glorified people can be different – and were different. We all know about the most glorious pages of their biographies and about the significance of their contributions ...

CRITICAL REVIEW OF THE ROLE OF CRISIS IN INDUCING POLICY CHANGE

Introduction Most nations make policies after they enter serious crisis. There is a general notion that a critical problem requires a critical solution.

No two black leaders stand out during the civil rights movement of the 1960s as much as Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. Whereas the two men were polar opposites in achieving their respective ends – equality for African Americans – they both died much too young as the result of an assassin’s bullet. Malcolm X, best known for his separatist ideology, wanted “black power”, and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s integrationist ideology preached peace, and the brotherhood of all men, regardless of color – conflicting philosophies that yielded both desirable and undesirable results.
