INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS: THE IRAN NUCLEAR CRISIS

Iran’s burgeoning nuclear activities seem to bear a threat as well as a challenge to international order.

Background

Nationalism in Iran coupled with the prevalent religious and ethnic tensions within the land could very ...

Introduction:

This research paper examines and discusses the economic links and conflicts prevailing between the People’s Republic of China (PRC) – mainland China – and its much smaller island neighbor, Taiwan, which calls itself the Republic of China (ROC). The two countries enjoy an uneasy truce – fundamentally because China does not recognize Taiwan as an independent nation, and has an ongoing ambition to bring Taiwan back as part of one unified China.

The invasion of Iraq was not morally just as it was a preemptive attack on a sovereign state. While international law recognizes the use of preemptive military action, the same ought to be sanctioned by the Security Council (Devetak et.al, 2011). The invasion was devoid of this international law requirement thus a moral justification would suffice only if Iraq had attacked any of the invading country; which would make the invasion a just war. Again, religious groups, more so the Catholics opposed the invasion on the basis that it was morally wrong to use preemptive and unilateral military action (Fleishman, 2008). This lack ...
