IS IT A RIGHT OF THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY
TO IMPOSE ON ANOTHER NATIONS RIGHTS?
Michael Aaron Ioffe
YES, BUT ONLY IF IT’S CERTAIN THAT
HUMAN RIGHTS ARE BEING VIOLATED.
If everyone doesn’t agree, or if someone is pushing
their own agenda, there can be problems ahead.
EXAMPLE: IN IRAQ, THE U. S. WAS
PUSHING THEIR OWN AGENDA.
Sovereignty must be taken away carefully and
thoughtfully, so a larger nation won’t take advantage.
IN IRAQ THE TAKEOVER WAS LED AND PROPELLED
VERY STRONGLY BY THE BIAS OF THE U. S.
Human rights in Iraq have decreased in the decade
since the fall of Saddam Hussein.
THE INTERNATIONALLY SUPPORTED CUBAN ECONOMIC
EMBARGO WAS PROPELLED BY THE ANTI-COMMUNIST AGENDA.
It in turn worsened the situation of the population by
limiting people’s access to healthcare.
SOMETIMES, INTERNATIONAL PRESSURE BACKFIRES
WHEN SANCTIONS DON’T HAVE AN EFFECT.
Sanctions placed on Russia backfired when Russia
threatened to withdraw Europe’s energy supply.
WHEN NO ONE IS PARTICULARLY BIASED, SANCTIONS
CAN HAVE A GRADUAL EFFECT.
North Korea agreed to release certain prisoners and
follow measures after food sanctions amid famine.
AFTER THE CIA LOST IT’S BIAS IN SOUTH AFRICA,
STRICT SANCTIONS LED TO THE BAN OF APARTHEID.
After internal pressure from citizens on both sides,
the U. S.’ change of agenda allowed for even and
careful economic sanctions to South Africa.
HUMAN RIGHTS ABUSES CAN BE STOPPED WITH
INTERNATIONAL ACTION ON A NATION'S SOVEREIGNTY…
…but only if action is taken carefully and with the
betterment of people in mind. Citizens must play a
part too, and look after their leaders actions.
THANKS!
