State Peace and Development Council

World order is defined as the activities and relationships between the world’s states and other significant non-state global actors that occur within a legal, political and economic framework, and thus implies a requisite level of international peace and stability. The success of global cooperation is evident through East Timor, in comparison to other interventions such as Syria and Rwanda through legal and non-legal measures. The effectiveness of the United Nation’s legal response and non-legal…

The United Nations aims to “save succeeding generations from the scourge of war” (UN Charter) by promoting international peace and security. Founded in 1945, the UN had 51 member states. Today there are 193 member states, yet the system remains unchanged. While disputes are tangible and concrete, conflicts are processes in which actors express dissatisfaction or disagreement with organizational structure (Constantino & Merchant 5). The intangibility of conflict makes it difficult to diagnose.…

security became apparent and led to the expansion of security; security was not only the security of particular states or people but the security of the international society and security was not only based on issues between states but issues within states. The Post cold War developments of security led to the concept of human security which emphasizes the security of individuals not of states. The chapter implies that security had remained the crucial and the main subject affair in…

The Republic of South Sudan is known as the youngest and newest state of the international community. It gained independence on July 9, 2011 as a result of a 2005 peace deal that ended the longest-running civil war in Africa. However, a couple of years later crisis struck the new state during a power struggle between President Salva Kiir and former Vice-President Riek Machar whom he sacked due to accusations of planning a coup. Machar denied the accusations but still mobilized a rebel force…

II, Australia today has such a unique history that has formed the diversity of its peoples, their cultures and lifestyles. World War II also caused many; cultural, social, political and global movements which were all designed to generate unity and peace amongst dividing dominations and religious groups in Australia. These movements were all used to re-establish order and produce reconciliation in Australia but it did face some challenges.…

Crossroads of the Arctic Council? When the Arctic Council was established in 1996 it was designed to bring together the states bordering the Arctic Ocean on issues related to environmental protection and sustainability. The organization does not address military issues in the region, which allows it to be one of the few international organizations in which both the U.S. and Russia will cooperate. However, I argue that there will be a change in the progression of this council in the next few…

broke out again (CARE, 2016). In 2005, a long awaited comprehensive peace agreement was signed, ending Africa’s longest-running civil war. This therefore led to the historic vote with over 98 percent of the South Sudanese population voting to separate from Sudan therefore creating the Republic of South Sudan an independent state on the 9th of July 2011 (BBC, 2011). Independence however has not brought peace any of the 10 states (UN office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs, 2016).…

comparable to the best and largest, it grows and advances simultaneously with the manpower. Resemblances between the United States and Saudi Arabia have helped reshape its mission of war and peace, monarchial government, and a more energy efficient environment. Saudi Arabia’s military fighting force is quite similar to the United States of America. Since the 1950s “The United States has explicitly vowed to help defend the kingdom against external threats,” even after September 11, 2001, and…

In 1901, Australia became an independent nation. Though, it still had a close connection with its origin, the British. According to realism, state is the highest authority, power is crucial, war is endemic so wishing for peace is utopian (Bisley, 2013). The best way to maintain security is to maintain alliance between states. At that point of time, Australia believed that its security was heavily dependent on the stability of major powers in the Europe. Thus, from 1900s to pre-World War 1, it…

for the benefit of its member state. Thus, the emphasis on prevention and direct control is not unexpected. At the same time, by 20th century the rising of germ theory and modern bacteriology were also affecting the institution in two ways (Scott 2015: 34). First, infectious disease outbreaks posed a direct threat to social contact between citizens and the government (Scott 2015: 34). If the government allowed the disease to rage unchecked, the legitimacy of the state would be questionable.…
