1919 at the Paris Peace Conference , Wilson, Cecil, and Smuts all suggest their draft proposals. The final contract of the League of Nations was draft by a special commission, and the League was recognized by Part I of the Treaty of Versailles. On 28 June 1919, 44 states signed the agreement, including 31 states which had taken part in the war. Why the League of Nations Failed: After the Abyssinian crisis, Italy left the League in 1937. During 1938, Britain and France tried a new policy…

15-20 years before that. The Armenian Genocide was the Ottoman Empire's destruction of the Armenian Christian population. This was at the fall of the Ottoman Empire. The Armenian Genocide is a forgotten genocide because it is not recognized by many nations but it did have its impact on the country as seen today. The Ottoman Empire began in the 13th century and lasted until 1923. (Empire from 1807 to 1920.) The Ottoman empire was a national power in Asia for most of its existence. They also had…

continuous improvement in world order. The increasing interdependence that nations have with each other makes promoting and maintaining world order a critical issue. Despite the establishment of the UN in 1945, conflicts between disputing nations is a common and devastating occurrence. To approach this issue the international community must cooperate and set standards through intergovernmental organisations such as the United Nations. Such conflicts are able to be resolved effectively by using…

through TNCs that, in an effort to maximize profit, move to developing countries. Among the attractions to TNCs of such regions are lax environmental regulations and what amounts to tolerance of human rights violations. TNCs have increased the rate of man-made environmental destruction and concomitant harm to humans. Indigenous groups are often affected the most severely; their sustainable lifestyle becomes impossible as natural resources are decimated by TNCs. Host countries often do not have…

speech throughout history: Nazism in Europe and segregation in the United States (Mchangma). While Waldron is prudent in suggesting that well-ordered societies “should not tolerate hate speech,” that does not guarantee that a society free of hate speech will remain a free society. Unlike what Tanya Cohen writes in ThoughtCatalog.com, the United States does not need to “get tough” on hate speech. Cohen, a self-proclaimed “human-rights activist,” claims that since “all other countries have laws…

between the United States of America and the Republic of Cuba can only be regarded as tumultuous and calls into question the morality of various governmental actions concerning both parties. The Cuban embargo, enacted under President Eisenhower, clearly depicts the rise and fall of tensions between the two nations. In America, the ethicality of the Cuban embargo remains a frequently debated topic. However, individuals properly briefed on past and present relations between the United States and…

majority of human history, governments have provided a multitude of services, protection and guidance to their citizens. These services have come at some sort of cost to citizens, while others are given (seemingly) freely. However, these services and protections have not always been available to all of a state’s citizens. Much has changed over the years in governments. Most of this change has happened in the last 100 or so years for the United States government. Women’s suffrage, the civil…

An estimated 8% of the United States workforce in 2014 were undocumented workers and an estimated 8 million unauthorized immigrants are employed each year. These undocumented workers are represented mainly in the agricultural and construction industries, although they make up a minority of workers in all industries. Many may be shocked by the large numbers of undocumented workers in the United States because it is illegal to knowingly hire or continue to employ undocumented workers. The…

Nike hired Andrew Young, Atlanta mayor and U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, to asses working conditions in subcontractors’ plants around the world. The intent of this strategy was regain credibility against the article published by Baskin (bad working condition, wage below the minimum salary, overwork) through an external advisor, a well-known person, mayor and member of the United Nations (upholder and promoter of human rights), and to show, disclosure the “real condition” of the workers…
