A 7 page paper presenting a shift in the manner in which member nations fund UN operation. When the UN was less influential in the world, its support belonged to those nations most interested in the political influence they could gain from UN affiliation. As the world's economy continues to consolidate, UN operation is much more practical and necessary. Contributing 1/10 of 1 percent of GDP places no hardship on any member nation, yet it provides flexibility as national fortunes change. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

A 14 page paper. The United Nations invented the concept and practice of peacekeeping as a response to the political realities of the Cold War. The Charter does not specifically cover peacekeeping operations, therefore, the UN Security Council adopted principles for these kinds of activities, one of which is not to use force except for self-defense. This essay discusses the UN's role in peacekeeping and the principles of these operations. Also discussed is the NATO Allied forces and their activities. The writer discusses the evolution of peacekeeping missions as the Cold War ended. Peacekeeping operations have become far more complex in the last decade. Humanitarian crises have become more intense as well as more frequent. The role of the military and the need for the military in these kinds of missions is explained. Examples are included.

This is a 13 page paper discussing Henry Kissinger’s involvement in the negotiation of the Sinai Accords and the affects of the accords on the Arab-Israeli conflict. The Sinai I and II Accords between Egypt and Israel in 1974 and 1975 were largely the result of negotiation efforts made by U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger in his step-by-step process aptly named “shuttle diplomacy” between the two countries. Kissinger spent over three years intervening between Egypt and Israel eventually finding concessions which resulted in Israel’s occupying army withdrawing from parts of the Egyptian Sinai. Kissinger did not want an American presence in the Sinai but eventually both sides agreed to Sinai II only if there was an American civilian presence and American funding for an Egyptian surveillance station to match the Israeli surveillance station on either side of the buffer zone. After Kissinger’s retirement in 1977, progress in the Middle East seemed to stall and negotiations were taken up by President Carter in 1978 with the development of the Camp David Accords. While Kissinger’s peace keeping efforts were applauded, several issues within the Middle East remained untouched including the U.S. non-recognition of Palestine despite its acceptance by the UN. This caused a great deal of additional tension in the area as many of the Arab nations preferred negotiations through the UN and not those initiated by the U.S. Conflicts still continue in the Middle East despite various peace accords over the years and Kissinger himself once commented that the area must find “some solution which balances the Arab need for self-esteem with Israeli security. I’m not sure it exists”. Bibliography lists 9 sources.

A 6 page paper discussing nine options that the United States has for dealing with the government of North Korea regarding North Korea’s commitment to military buildup and threatening language regarding nuclear capability. When the time comes for action regarding North Korea, the choices available to US decision-makers likely will be best left to the UN. North Korea is so hostile to the US that any US-based suggestion for resolution is likely to be rejected out of hand. None of the world can afford to merely let us “fight it out;” we must be able to arrive at compromise shortly. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

A 3 page research paper that addresses female genital mutilation (FGM) as an ongoing global justice issue pertaining to women. Throughout the globe, women are still discriminated against and are cast into the role of second-class citizens, but on a more basic level, women -- worldwide-- are routinely the victims of institutionally sanctioned violence. In other words, it is considered "normal" to beat women, use them as little more than beasts of burden and mutilate their bodies -- all in the name of male dominance and privilege. In examining this issue, the most compelling issue of global justice in regards to women concerns the most basic of human rights, the right to body integrity. In the name of "chastity" and "purity" -- and despite new laws and UN prohibitions -- the practice of female genital mutilation is still ongoing in numerous countries. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

New Threats to the UN Security Council: This 8-page essay discusses the United Nations’ efforts to broaden the range of challenges that constitute threats to international peace and security, and whether this new trend is a positive development for the world community. Rather than simply waiting until a conflict arises and subsequently attempting its resolution, the necessity that the Council anticipates world aggression seems to be the New Order. As a result, today’s Security Council members valiantly continue in their efforts to protect international security. Like good parents they seem to be trying to stay one step ahead of recalcitrant offspring. Bibliography lists 8 sources. SNUnatio.doc

A 17 page paper discussing the legal and environmental aspects of biological warfare. As our scientific knowledge increased, so did the threat of biological warfare.

The 1972 Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention remains under continual review. Bibliography lists 20 sources in 28 footnotes (in Bluebook [legal] style).

A 20 page paper written as a report to the UN of conditions affecting the conduct of business by a foreign company in Singapore. Singapore has exercised more prudence than several other of the ASEAN nations in the management of their finances and lending practices, so they are not as adversely affected by the currency crisis as most of the other member states. Singapore is indeed a country in which to conduct profitable business pursuits: the government is sympathetic to the needs of the business community and also places no restrictions on percentages of foreign ownership. The paper contains several tables. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

15 pages in length. Upon hearing the term 'United Nations,' the immediate image of most is that of the General Assembly and the Security Council. Many of us have little concept of the extent of UN activities that take varied routes to one goal: that of bettering the human condition around the world. One efficient and productive route toward that end is in the UN's facilitation role of encouraging free trade among the countries of the world. The Economic and Social Council is comprised of several subgroups working in specific areas from government level to economic analysis and forecast for the greatest ease possible in encouraging the growth of international business. Bibliography lists ten sources.

A 9 page research paper that discusses political issues in Canada during the early cold war era. There is a prevalent Canadian national ideology that Canada is 'altruistic, nice, unmilitary and without territorial ambition' (Dawson, 2003, p. 629). In his review of a text by S.M. Maloney, Dawson (2003) relates that Maloney's thesis in this work is that this idea originates with the idea that Canada's approach to maintaining national security during the Cold War revolved peacekeeping and the nation's role in UN peacekeeping missions (Dawson, 2003). This attack on the image of Canada naturally brings up numerous questions about the reality of Canadian life during the Cold War era. How well did Canada live up to the ideology of its image?

A 3 page research paper that briefly examines the Israeli/Palestinian conflict and proposes a solution. Israel has been at war with displaced Palestinians since the partitioning of Palestine by the UN in 1947. The Jewish people who created Israel feel that they have an ancient right to Palestine that dates back to the biblical Kingdom of Israel and they assert their historical prerogative. On the other hand, native Palestinians were displaced by the establishment of Israel from land that their families had occupied for generations, literally losing their homes. Their claim is equally just. This discussion of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict proposes one possible solution. Bibliography lists 2 sources.
