Ecumenical council

Since its foundation in 1945, the United Nations (UN) has served as the centre of international diplomacy in the hope of ensuring world peace, protecting human rights, and providing humanitarian aid. Australia, being a key ally during World War II, was among the establishing nations and has played an active role in promoting UN interests. While the goals of the UN are noble from a moral perspective, the existence of a global authority has significant implications on national sovereignty, the…

Word Count: 2,117 Globalization is the process of increasing the interconnectedness of the world, creating an ever-shrinking global community. Innovative technologies allow people to communicate and materials to be transported at never-before-seen speeds, with ever-decreasing costs. Hence, globalization naturally limits state 's power; it reduces state revenues, while consolidating political power in international institutions. Such institutions stand as more capable and comprehensive political…

Structural realists say struggles between states are not the result of the human nature but the result of the political system of the international politics. Because no states trust each other, they must build their own military organizations and institutions to defend themselves. This leads to some conflicts and wars between states because nobody trusts each other. Neoliberalism says that society ought to be formed by the free market. It is said that with neoliberalism, what works in the…

Question: Does globalization diminish the role of the modern-nation state in favour of international institutions?

Innovative technologies allow people to communicate and materials to be transported at never-before-seen speeds, with ever-decreasing costs. Hence, globalization should naturally limit state 's power; it reduces state revenues, while…

Security Council has authorized humanitarian intervention, it has used Chapter VII of the Charter as its justification, citing a “threat to international peace and security,” even in cases of internal conflict like Somalia.

Over the long time and strong confrontation, South Korean President (1998-2002) Daejoong Kim set a goal of improvement of the relationship between South and North Korea. He proclaimed his so-called, ‘Sunshine Policy’ of reconciliation and cooperation. It means that South Korea should show its forward-looking position with good will and have to help North Korea choose a path of change. In other words, a positive circle of South Korea and North Korea’s relation will be connected with South Korea’s…

Purpose. To recommend the UN Secretary-General promote and create stronger engagement with BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa) on ensuring a sustainable future for the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. Background. Since its inception in 2001 and international acceptance in 2005, R2P has increasingly been derided by many as a Western-centric, Occidentalist doctrine ill-suited to the realities of the developing world. Critics sensed colonialist undertones and worried about…

security council votes whether to enforce the ICC’s arrest warrants, and sentences. A case accusing the President of Sudan was taken to the United Nation’s security council, asking the security council to enforce the arrest warrant for the president of Sudan for committing actions of genocide. However the president of Sudan is still acting in his usual ways, because members of the security council votes against enforcing the arrest warrant. This happens because members of the security council…

Growing up, many of us have obtained some knowledge on greek-letter organizations somehow. Whether we have all seen movies about colleges that are fraternity and sorority based or through social media. They’ve given us a little insight on the college life and if you’re like me, these moves have gotten you inspired and excited for college. They’ve shown us the crazy parties, the popularity, the step battles, and the harsh hazing as well. Even though we see an abundance of what goes on in these…

organization was imperative to the international system. Two years later, the Charter of the United Nations was signed, and later formally established as a legal entity (Janis 218). These countries, including the hegemonic members of the Security Council, agreed that the guiding intent was to maintain international peace and collective security with human rights above…
