...International Law Name: UDAYA.R.S Enrolment Number: MBA1/JUN15N/71101434345916F Roll Number: N15NOV/7110 Question 1. Explain the different international organizations Answer: 1. Introduction This section reviews the complete range of international organizations. The conventional categories used are first examined, then various ways of distinguishing between the many kinds of organization and degrees of "internationality" are considered. The problem of borderline cases is discussed, together with non-organizational substitutes for organizations and possible alternative forms of organization. Quantitative information on the growth of international institutions and indicative data on regional organizations are also presented. A major difficulty in obtaining some understanding of international organizations is the variety of organizational forms which need to be considered. Abstract classification schemes, particularly when simplified for convenience, tend to conceal the existence of well-developed groups of organizations with distinct features. The approach employed here has been to use several different ways of breaking up the range of organizations and to cite several examples of organizations of any particular type. The intent is not to put forward a new systematic classification of international organizations but rather to facilitate an appreciation of the variety of bodies which could be incorporated into any...

...In International Relations, there are some crucial concepts that should be analyzed carefully by scholars. Meanings of these concepts should be clear for all states to minimize contradictions in the existing order. For example, authority and sovereignty are the concepts that ought to be understood by scholars as well as states. Most importantly, power is one of the core concepts in the discipline of International Relations. Power is generally defined as the ability to influence the behavior of others by whatever means. Most people can think that the only way to exercise power is coercion. However, power does not necessarily involve coercion. It may be exercised as persuasion and as the construction of incentives. In International Relations, power is more than ability. Primary goal of states is to be powerful. In addition, power provides security, control and status to states. There is no commonly accepted standard for what makes a state powerful. Throughout the history, economic and military power is determinant factor for some countries whereas population, geography and leadership have a role in being powerful for some countries. For example, Great Britain has always benefited its geography. As being an island, it is separated from Europe. Having this advantage, Great Britain prevented Hitler’s invasion of England during World War II. The fact that economical condition is determinant factor for states to be powerful can be seen in Saudi Arabia. Because Saudi Arabia has very...

...Michael Willar Professor Walton International Relations 04-14-2013 “Major war will not occur in the future because the international community has created a set of international institutions that make it impossible.“ Many people believe that a major war will not happen again because international institutions would prevent it. I tend to agree with that notion because I believe that many things have changed since the last great power war in the 20th century. The League of Nations was the primary international institution after World War I. The United States however was not a member and the League of Nations, often failing to resolve conflicts in a diplomatic manner. Post World War II, many other international institutions were created which had the objective to manage the world economy and prevent another major war. These institutions included the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the World Bank, the European Union, North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and the World Trade Organization (WTO). The league of nations turned into the United Nations (UN), which today has a total of 193 member states. The UN suggests that every country has a desire to solve conflicts diplomatically first and not start a war immediately. In case a country has a conflict with another country , both can state their cases and opinions in front of the United Nations. The United Nations then tries to mediate between those countries and solve the conflict diplomatically without any military...

There are many types of HR organization just like there are many types of organizations. Some types of organizations are global, multinational, international and transnational. To understand which HR organization best fits each type of organization you must know what each organization does. What they are made up of and what is the purpose and goal of each type of organization.

...University October 23, 2014 An article that discusses numerous differences between the U.S. and the U.K organizations and their employees; these differences include language, culture, customs, attitudes, opinions, and values. In addition, the article discusses the challenges that employees face when working in a country that they do not understand (Doke, 2014, para. 3). On the other hand, the U.S. and the U.K. both have English-speaking citizens and language barriers that create some significant communication issues and employees may often face disappointment and underachievement when trying to adjust to the new country (Doke, 2014, para. 4). In fact, the work, personal ambitions, individualism, efficiency, business meetings and communication differences between the two countries requires some great strategies that will help all employees grow within the organization. DeeDee Dokes states that it is critical for management to understand the differences in business cultures to help employees adjust in the foreign country; this can be done by conducting training sessions to prevent issues in the workplace later on (2014, para. 10). A recent survey conducted by Cendant Mobility states that 84% of organizations provide intercultural training to their employees while working in a foreign country; unfortunately less than 50% of employees obtain that training offered by the organization (Doke, 2014, para. 8). Intercultural training removes the culture shock employees have when transferring...

...political affiliation”. This international medical humanitarian organization was established in 1971 by doctors and journalist. There are several reasons MSF provides medical aid to those in need. Epidemics, malnutrition, natural disasters, and exclusion from healthcare are some of the reasons the MSF would provide help. The organization also advocates in situations where issues are neglected. The MSF reserves the right to bring attention to any situation that the organization sees as abuse or neglect. MSF operates independently and are separate from any political, military, or religious affiliations, and remains neutral. The MSF evaluates certain areas to determine how great of a need there is in that particular area before opening a program. Since the MSF operates independently, funding for the organization comes from private, non-government sources. In 2009, MSF had 3.8 million individual donors and private funders worldwide. (“History and Principles”, 2013) Ethically the MSF believes it not only important to help one in a time of need, but also to advocate for one in need. They believe no matter race, religion, or political affiliation everyone deserves the right to necessary medical care. The MSF is often socially accepted by those who are in need. Often welcomed and overwhelmed the MSF must operate on a critical need basis. This sometimes is difficult when the organization sees the need so many people have. They are a very neutral organization and often provide care in...

The division of power between the federal government and state government allow citizens to diversity. Each state has its own laws, while being still being apart of the same nation. The federal government is responsible for the military, immigration, trade regulation, international relations, and currency, among other things. States and the federal government also have shared powers such as tax collection, spending of social security, construction, aiding unemployment, and enforcing laws. State governments control trade in their borders and can use certain powers as long as they do no compete with federal powers. Examples of this are infrastructure, health care, police and fire stations, K-12 education along with higher education, and marriage laws. The founding fathers saw it fit it create a balance of power. The federal government has a lot of power, but not more than a state’s government has over its own citizens.

...IMO Policy on Repressing of Piracy and Armed Robbery against Ships in the Western Indian Ocean and the Gulf of Aden (Horn of Africa region) Foreword: piracy in the Horn of Africa The United Nations (UN) and in particular the International Maritime Organization (IMO) have assertively tackled piracy since 2006.1 This effort is a response to the escalation of violence and the expansion of Somali piracy in the Horn of Africa, where, since 2004, ships, seafarers and property are constantly threatened by acts of piracy. Pirates are menacing shipping traffic close to vital choke points (Suez Canal, Hormuz Strait), disrupting freedom of navigation and the free movement of goods by sea, as well as jeopardizing regional stability. There is a strong body of evidence that Somali piracy is a tangible threat to the maritime community as a whole: however, IMO response (as a part of International Community action) has been seen as insufficient in order to efficiently fight pirates. This paper underlines positive and negative aspects of IMO counter-piracy policy, drawing the conclusion that despite substantial flaws and lack of pragmatism IMO action provides an essential catalyst able to orchestrate an international, comprehensive response against Horn of Africa piracy. Policy identification and implementation Current IMO counter-piracy policy is underpinned by an articulated set of papers, recommendations and agreements, which has been developed since 1998 and whose roots are even deeper. Actually...
