<p>Principal Organs of the United Nations = Security Council, General Assembly, Secretariat, ECOSOC, world court Permanent Members of the UN Security Council = U.S, Russia, China, UK, France Regional Organizations = EU, NATO, AU, OAS, APEC International Law = a body of rules established by custom or treaty and recognized by nations as binding in their relations with one another. Where your rights as a country start and end like rules of the seas. International Treaties = Written obligations made by states making agreements like treaties, different responsibilities, and rights. Ex: NAFTA Intergovernmental Organizations (IGOs) = Organizations and institutions that help boost cooperation with multiple states. Members include only states/governments. Ex: UN Prisoner's Dilemma = An example of game theory that shows rational actors will make bad decisions if they pursue their selfish desires. To help prevent making bad choices we use international law, IGO. Ex: climate change Shadow of the Future = Building trust like reciprocity. You're willing to accept a cost thinking about the future. Doing it now will cost you, however in the long run it will help you. The more the shadow projects into the future the more you want to do it. Ex: A 4-way stop: you can't go when you get there, however, you are expected to stop and see what others are doing and you don't get into an accident. Traditional Peacekeeping = Separation of two actors usually states and under invitation by the host state. The UN goes and separates them. Peacekeeping does not blame any side and stands as neutral. Ex: India and Pakistan Complex Peacekeeping = After the Cold War to deal with civil wars and terrorism the UN intervenes to provide state and nation-building. Involves more than separating sides; they actually build the countries up and the UN has allowed the use of force to ensure peacekeeping. Ex: Congo, Mali Extradition = Someone is charged with a crime and a country wants that person to be brought back to your jurisdiction where the crime was committed. You need more than one treaty for this to occur. Universal Jurisdiction = When the crimes are so horrendous that states say 'WE are going to charge you regardless of your citizenship and where it was committed' charges against humanity like genocide. The countries have a moral responsibility to bring justice to people whose rights were violated. Just War Doctrine = Discusses the ethics, and morality of using force. We have rules about the use of force however we agree that the use of force is okay. It goes back to Saint Augustine and originates in Christianity and Western thought. 13th century. Ex: Jus Ad Bellum, Jus in Bello Jus Ad Bellum (When it is Legal to Go to War) = If you're attacked you have the right to use force to defend yourself. And stop aggression against someone who can't defend themselves under some conditions, like not having an opportunity to take someone's territory. Ex: wars of aggression Jus In Bello (Rights When in War) = Fighting is limited to soldiers who wear uniforms, have to let aid through to civilians and soldiers who have surrendered. The use of force should be limited to conventional weapons. Targets should not include civilians. Neutral countries that are not at war are off-limits.</p> Signup and view all the answers
