one as well. Economists from nations around the world have worked with the United Nations to develop policy suggestions extolling the virtues of universal healthcare as an “essential pillar of development,” (Summers, 2015, p. 2112). Universal healthcare leads to reductions in wasteful spending, and reductions in the prevalence and severity of preventable healthcare problems, which is why countries with universal coverage fare better in terms of both healthcare financial analyses and healthcare outcomes (Squires & Anderson, 2015).

International institutionalism or liberal institutionalism as a theory in IR has been defined by Robert Keohane as focusing “on the idea of complex interdependence…placing emphasis on four characteristics which differentiate institutionalism from realism”—i.e., no distinction between high and low politics, and complete interaction among actors across national borders.[footnoteRef:4] [4: Rebecca Devitt, Liberal… Continue Reading...
Statistics (BJS) National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). A similar tool has been used on an international scale with the United Nations Interregional Crime and Justice Research Institute (UNICRI) International Crime Victims Survey (ICVS). Finally, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) operates the United Nations Surveys on Crime Trends and the Operations of Criminal Justice Systems (UN-CTS).
The UCR and the UN-CTS are similar in that they track reported crimes. Tracking reported crimes requires an established, clear definition of each crime. It also requires that all participating law enforcement agencies use the same definitions for those crimes and report instances of those crimes in the same way.… Continue Reading...
by the nascent United Nations (UN) Security Council in January 1948 specifically called upon “the Government of India and the Government of Pakistan to take immediately all measures within their power (including public appeals to their people) calculated to improve the situation, and to refrain from making any statements and from doing or causing to be done or permitting any acts which might aggravate the situation.”[footnoteRef:5] Notwithstanding this and subsequent UN resolutions concerning Kashmir that mirrored these requests for forbearance of compellence on the part of either belligerent, there have been hundreds of… Continue Reading...

good governance are outlined as transparency, responsibility, accountability, participation and responsiveness to the needs of the people (United Nations Human Rights., 2017).
Transparency is hinged on other arms and stakeholders of governance. One of the chief arms of governance is the independent judiciary that will help in interpreting the laws and also mete out legal punishment to the individuals or institutions that are found to contravene the tenets of transparency and good governance. The other group is the free, responsible and competitive press which will help in objectively reporting on issues and following up those acts of government that are seen to breach transparency to the logical… Continue Reading...
for their families' problems (United Nations Drug Control Programme, 1995).
A vast, largely-qualitative literature pool exists on the impact of rapidly-evolving, modern-age social, technological, and economic situations on Caucasian households and communities. Most problems relevant to the relationship between Caucasian households and drug abuse have been summed up in a couple of papers, put together by the WHO (World Health Organization) and the UNDCP. The discussion that follows simply offers some hints for additional study (UN Drug Control Programme (UNDCP)).
Impact of Heroin Use on Family and Community

far as clothing is concerned. The attire is used across the globe to depict power and position. Even in meetings of cross-cultural organisations such as the United Nations (UN), virtually everyone puts on the same type of dressing as opposed to outfits that reflect their respective local culture.
One area that has been significantly affected by globalisation-fuelled cultural convergence is business. A closer look at business cultures and practices across the globe today reveals greater similarity than ever before (Gupta and Wang, 2003). The manner in which organisations are managed shows that cultural differences have faded over time, resulting in a single global culture. Today, organisations, sectors, and industries worldwide are guided by and/or subject to… Continue Reading...
contained in programme and certain responsibilities, when it should actually be linked to the United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child. This increases the chances of children learning about the rights without learning about the CRC; plus, they will be able to understand what being a duty-bearer or right-holder entails (two major aspects of the child right initiative) (Jerome, Emerson, Lundy, & Orr, 2015).

Suttie (2017) indicates, Africa’s aggregate annual food import bill is estimated to increase to US$110 billion by 2025 from the current US$35billion. The increase in economic growth realized in the continent has not realized expansionary employment impact with over 60% of the working population engaging in vulnerable employment (United Nations & Economic Commission for Africa, 2017). The continent has failed to enjoy the benefits of the expansionary growth since it’s mainly driven by the commodity price boom which is an unsustainable pathway for rapid economic growth (AFdB, 2019).

radicalization, incitement, training, recruitment, communications, information gathering, planning, financing, and preparation (United Nations, n.d). Technology has quickly become a fundamental component of the modern day society. Technology governs itself therefore making it possible for terrorists to utilize it for the purpose of advancing their terrorism. Modern terrorism has become unpredictable and instantaneous thanks to technology. Technology has made it possible for terrorists to target large audiences and bring terror right into the home (InfoSec, 2018). Cyberspace is a technological environment that has no boundaries hence making it a place where terrorists can locate resources, disseminate propaganda information and launch attacks in… Continue Reading...
care insurance (LTIC) has a number of strengths. These will be highlighted in this text.
First, the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific – UNESCAP (2016) points out that the LTCI scheme has greatly enhanced the welfare of not only the aging population, but also families taking care of older persons. This, according to the UNESCAP, is more so the case given that with the LTCI scheme, the country effectively transformed the long-term care services which were largely residual and selective into universal care services. It is important to note that prior to the introduction of the LTCI scheme, older person families… Continue Reading...

The most recent United Nations Childrens Fund (UNICEF) data reveals a total of 132 million orphans worldwide, 13 million of which have lost both parents. Many more children live in poverty abject enough to spawn child labor systems, with 168 million children worldwidealmost 11 percent of all children around the worldas child laborers (Worldwide Childrens Statistics, 2016). Given these alarming statistics, adoption should widely be promoted as an alternative to surrogacy, artificial insemination, fertility drugs, or even natural childbirth.

Hansen, W.W. & Musa, U.A. (2013). Fanon, the Wretched and Boko Haram. Journal of Asian and African Studies January 15, 2013 0021909612467277.
This article helps with theory development, showing how critical Marxist theory and post-colonial discourse can be used to frame and influence policy related to Boko Haram. The authors use Frantz Fanon's theories as a springboard for analysis, showing how Boko Haram can be viewed as an extension of colonial and post-colonial uprisings of "the socially marginalized, the abused, the dregs of humanity, The Other!" (p. 1).… Continue Reading...
