Paramilitary

My interviewee said, “As a sexual minority, you are a threat to the stability of the system, so no one is concerned about your protection from the armed conflicts like paramilitary or guerilla groups.” Being gay, he was forced to move to a safer place in Colombia called Bogota, because the government was not concerned about the removal of dysfunctional behavior. Homosexuals in Columbia are considered a “defect” of the system…

The prioritized war on drugs and war on crime has fueled the growth of the number of police paramilitary units. These modern police forces have developed the “us vs. them” mindset of a soldier, which has been fostered by both federal and state governments through a series of programs supplying legal and financial support and defending law enforcement…

It is not a common occurrence within the paramilitary environment. The reason for this is that there is an inverse relationship between when the top ranks practice discretion and when the lower end of the rank practice the same.

messengers, plant or remove land mines, act as spies, indulge on suicide missions, or forced into sexual slavery (Child Soldiers International, 2015). Hundreds of thousands of boys and girls are abducted or forced by government, rebel groups, or paramilitaries to participate in armed conflicts around the world.

This quote really sums up the essence of this novel by Claudia Gray. This novel is a political thriller about a barely working a corrupt government known as the new republic.

If Colombia does take over the jurisdiction that involves the human rights it could mishandle the post conflict transition for the paramilitaries because they lack the experience to do so. That is why the International Courts have right to the jurisdiction over human rights cases because…

Adolf Hitler was a cruel man that preached a message of hate and violence towards millions of Jews and his enemies. Even though Hitler hated his enemies he never killed them himself. He relied on ruthless organizations like the SS to carry out his vision of racial purity. The SS committed countless crimes against humanity for Hitler and Nazi Germany. Only die hard Hitler supporters, Aryans and cold-blooded killers were accepted into the SS. The SS was almost unavoidable as they were apart of…

I will talk about terrorism in the United Kingdom from 1969–1998. We will focus on an Irish republican paramilitary organization that called themselves the Irish Republican Army. The IRA sought to liberate Northern Ireland from the UK and to join with the Irish republic. They carried out many bombings during a period colloquially known as the Troubles.

Police violence has been an issue in the media, especially after the killing of Michael Brown in the Ferguson area. After this event, many African-Americans took the streets to protest the killing, which resulted in a paramilitary response from the police at the city and state level. The federal government criticized the state tactics related to the use of tear gas, attack dogs, and militarized vehicles on the protestors: “The Justice Department also said that the use of…
