Introduction

Henry Kissinger was perhaps one of the most active and important Secretaries of State. His forceful intervention in several questions such as the Vietnam War as well as his propping up of General Gustavo Augusto Pinochet makes him a reviled figure amongst those who have democracy at heart (Bass, p 275). This paper seeks to argue that Kissinger should indeed be hauled in front of an International War Crimes Tribunal largely due to his intervention, covert or non-covert in several mass genocides. Two of these are those in Bangladesh in 1971 where the Pakistani Army was given US backing to ...

Democratic Kampuchea was one of the most violent regimes to ever rule. During the course of their rule, they were responsible for the death of more than two million individuals; as a proportion of the nation’s size, this is an incredibly large number. The deaths were the result of a nearly fundamentalist adherence to the philosophies espoused in The Communist Manifesto, and were incredibly damaging to the nation in both the long term and the short term. The years following the second world war were a tumultuous time for the world as a whole. The world knew that to have another ...

Analgesics are drugs used to alleviate pain. Pain relief by analgesics occurs because analgesics block the flow of pain signals to the baring or interfere with the interpretation of pain signals in the brain. Analgesics also suppress the pain mechanism in the body. Although analgesics are routinely used in pain management, they are not sufficient in treatment of patients (DETP, nd). The management of pain needs a careful consideration of all the contributory factors responsible for contributing to the pain circuit or the painful stimulus. For example, neuropathic pain is caused by nerve dysfunction while back injuries are caused ...
