734 Words3 Pages

Operation Oluja was undertaken after many years of unsuccessful efforts by Croatian political leadership and international peacekeeping forces to re-establish constitutional and legal order and security on the entire territory of the Republic of Croatia – as it was defined by the UN Resolution. Political and diplomatic means, agreements and settlements with representatives of local Serb population and the authorities in Belgrade, as well as several HV’s warning operations with limited objectives were to no avail.
Political situation prior to Oluja was marked by the incapability of the UN forces to contribute to a political solution to the conflict in Croatia. Following the rebellion of the Serbian minority in Croatia and the aggression of the Yugoslav People's Army (JNA) as a response to the declaration of independence of the Republic of Croatia from Yugoslavia in 1991, by signing the truce in January 1992, conditions were created for the deployment of the UN peacekeeping troops along the demarcation line. Unfortunately, the engagement of the UN forces did not yield any improvements nor did it resolve the conflict. Instead, it enabled Serbian forces to shift toward BiH and open up a new …show more content…

and the West witnessed what had happened in Bosnia and Herzegovina. US diplomacy, among others, proposed the Z-4 Plan according to which the occupied areas would be reintegrated into the Republic of Croatia while retaining elements of autonomy.

    The Canadian government also inappropriately dealt with Aboriginal social justice issues, as seen through the land claims like the Oka Crisis and the Ipperwash. The Oka Crisis was a 78-day standoff, beginning on July 11th, 1990 between Mohawk protesters, police, and army. The crisis began when the proposed expansion of an 18 hole golf course and development of 60 luxury condominiums on disputed land included a Mohawk burial ground. The Mohawks were infuriated, as the Euro-Canadians proposed the use of land that belonged to them was to be used for a luxury of their own, leading them to erect a barricade to Oka. The Police wouldn’t tolerate the actions of the Mohawks, and intervened 3 months later, attempting to cease the barricade.

    The 4th Armored Brigade Combat Team Without knowledgeable and qualified leaders at every level of civilian or military organization people will work in an unhealthy environment and their output and performance will suffer. Management or leadership lacking in leadership qualities will effect organizational culture and climate in a negative way, to the point that it will make the unit organization incapable of accomplishing the assigned mission. After a series of tragic events that occurred within the 4th ABCT during their last deployment in Afghanistan, I have no doubt in my mind that commanding them is going to be challenging. During the last few weeks, I had the opportunity to examine the historical unit records, CALL and CAL assessments, and conversations and observations with leaders throughout the Brigade and Division, which gave me some helpful information. This information has helped me in preparing the plan on how to meet with the upcoming challenge.

  • Genocide Vs War

    In the UNSC’s article 51, individual and collective self-defense can be authorized by the UNSC under the framework of collective security.

Within war there is a certain level of understanding that those engaging in the conflict will have an ability to engage in battle. However, historically in genocides the effected groups have had little to no ability to proportionately fight against their attackers.
