profile bodies such as United Nations, the World Bank, the World Trade Organization, and the International Monetary Fund, while others are less known but still play key roles in particular fields. By providing a framework for cooperative problem-solving among states, international organisations have modified traditional power politics without threatening the emergence of a global or regional super state.

But because “the United States has not signed the Convention means that it can not provide levels of leadership international, which it is capable of providing, in this important area,” as of 2011 (Fiorvanti and Brassard). The agreement to grant children their rights was…

A problem for the effectiveness of policy in Burma is the lack of the role of the countries belonging to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN). Thailand and other members of ASEAN are large investors in Burma, and therefore have no interest in sanctioning their economic partner (Green, & Mitchell, 2007). Thailand has said that it believes sanctions are the wrong policy toward Burma and that it would not participate in sanctions (Tansubhapol, 2009). The currently uninvolved countries…

Our Help Imagine our country is in great devastation, and there is barely any water for the majority of us due to the current global warming crisis. Our country is undeveloped and not a single person watching chooses to take concern over our dying nation. How would we feel? We would be scared and anxious about the near future. Unfortunately, this is how many third world countries feel today. Currently, they may not be at their highest points of development, but they all still deserve basic…

However, that is not the case. There are much subtler occurrences of violence seen throughout the United States. Such instances can be divided into two groups: Cultural violence and…

institutionalism would look to create and work through an international organization to bring an end to the crisis. The United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees could be used as an example of a current international institution trying to solve the problem through neoliberal institutionalist…

Gray-zone conflicts currently present the most significant security threat confronting U.S. strategists and planners. Recent events by Russia in the Ukraine and China in the South China Sea are current examples of these gray-zone threats. Applying components from two international relations (IR) theories to gray-zone conflicts will create a framework for U.S. strategists. Using components of realism and liberalism and combining them will provide the U.S. a policy instrument with both hard and…

could not be dealt with on an inconsistent, ad hoc basis, resulting in the making of the doctrine Responsibility to Protect (R2P). R2P was introduced by the International Commission on Intervention and State Sovereignty in 2001, and endorsed by United Nations (UN) member states during the 2005 World Summit. The doctrine affirmed the collective responsibility to protect when “national authorities are manifestly failing to protect their populations from genocide, war crimes, ethnic cleansing and…

heartwarming to know that there are so many organizations and individuals who so selflessly and courageously rush to help those in need. One of those organizations — the United Nations — is a global entity, which has been dedicated to help countries and groups of people actively since 1945.
