The International Criminal Court should have an arrest warrant for Omar al-Bashir since he supported Arab militias, indirectly committed genocide and did not wish to help the civilians of Darfur. The Janjaweed, the Arab militias that committed many crimes against humanity, were supported by al-Bashir’s government. In February 2004, “Janjaweed militia wearing government uniforms attack[ed] a boarding school in Tawila, Darfur forcing 110 Zaghawa girls to strip naked at gunpoint before conducting…

In his article “The Global Refugee Crisis Worsens,” author James Graff describes in detail the immigration crisis; there are more and more wars ravaging this Earth, and immigration has increased tenfold.

I use “defensive in nature” in the context of nuclear weapons to mean it is intended, by rational states, to deter attacks from other states and is not intended to be used as a first strike. By “irrational actors” I mean states that act in a way that violates…

Peace, no matter through what means, is the ultimate goal in any society. Throughout the ages, wars have been waged, crusades and slaughter swept across holy lands, and genocides which have slaughtered millions of human lives have all been perpetrated on the pretense that if these atrocities are carried out, the outcome will be peace. The Nobel Prize celebrates peace across the globe, and awards those who have brought peace to the societies they represent. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. desired…

everyone on Earth is part of a nation, so the idea that each person’s national community is an imagined one is difficult to comprehend, but upon extensive thought, it becomes evident that it is a fact.

(Ukpere, 2014) Global poverty is an increasing problem in the world and the goal of ending poverty is elusive. Solutions to poverty cannot be based exclusively on economic policies as there are both…

lobal Governance Global Governance is defined as a movement towards political integration of transnational actors aiming to solve problems that affect more than one state or region. With this we ask who are the key players, where does this power reside and what problems come with global governance. Transnational actors such as non-state actors, Non Governmental Organizations, private actors, International Organizations and so on are some of the most influential in terms of development as there…
