The Advantages And Disadvantages Of The Public International Law?

Some of President Roosevelt’s greatest accomplishments were the creation of the Panama Canal, the establishment of the national forest’s and wildlife refuges. Roosevelt won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1906 for his efforts to mediate peace between Russia and Japan (Kelly). The second President I would nominate for the monument would be Franklin D. Roosevelt. FDR took the reins of the United States in 1932 when the country was in the depths of the Great Depression and he immediately went to work in restoring the public’s trust.

Dwight D. Eisenhower initially became known for his success in World War Two, as an Army general. After the war, Eisenhower returned as a hero and in 1952 he was elected as the 34th President of the United States. Eisenhower served two terms as president from 1953 to 1961. Throughout Eisenhower’s presidency, he faced international issues such as the end of the Korean War, the Cold War, and the beginnings of the Vietnam war. Eisenhower’s most prominent foreign achievement was how he handled the Cold War, because the Soviet Union, also known as the USSR, tested the limits of the United States by threatening nuclear war and the imminent spread of communism.

Magna Carta was when British Barons wanted the King to be more aware of their rights. They felt they weren't treated properly and wanted more say. King John isn't recognizing the Baron's rights. The Barons made it so they would have more say and freedom. “ [Britain’s] Magna Carta and bill of rights have long been the boast, as well as the security of that nation….this principle is a fundamental one…

It seems that while this overlap is present in war powers the distinction can be made between the powers of war and peace. As shown by Federalist 69 the legislature has the powers to declare war while the executive has the prerogative to maintain peace. As such the legislature acts slowly and deliberatively which is best for a larger body. In stark contrast, the executive acts quickly and decisively allowing it to respond to changing climates and necessitating a single authority or President. It seems in the case of the “Proclamation of Neutrality” that the executive is acting exactly as intended by preserving peace and acting

About the Author Mr. Roberty Axelrod is the professor of Political Sciences and Public Policy at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor.

War broke out in 1914 due to forces that had been building up in Europe for years. While the Allies blamed Germany for the war too harshly, its actions certainly did directly contribute to World War I, as did those of Austria Hungary. However, each country involved fostered militarism in their country, and became in entrenched in the web of alliances and race for imperial power, all causes of the environment that led to the Great War. Therefore, it could be said that all European countries were responsible, in part, for World War I, as reflected in Documents 5, 6, and 7.

He requested that everyone support his “Lend-Lease” program, which granted Allies free access to United States munitions (“The Four Freedoms”1). Most importantly, he expressed his opinion of what the world should be like, “a world attainable in our own time and generation, and founded upon four essential human freedoms: freedom of speech and expression, freedom of worship, freedom from want, and freedom from fear” (“The Four Freedoms 1”). In addition, Roosevelt’s speech spread hope throughout the entire world during World War II.  

These will be used to exemplify the extent of emotion, desperation, and turmoil World War 1 was causing during this time. Many say propaganda was used as a weapon during the time of the Great War as it was previously known. Propaganda was constantly used to have total influence over international opinion and have impact on the public's actions. “A distinctive feature of World War 1 was the extensive use of troops drawn from the colonies of the contending powers.”

TRUE SENSE OF INTERNATIONAL LAW: The controversy whether international law is a law or not resolves on the divergent definitions of the word “law” given by the jurist. If we subscribe to the view of Hobbes, Austin and Pufendorf, that law is a command of sovereign enforced by a superior political authority then international law cannot be included in the category of law. On the other hand if, we subscribe to the view that the term“law”cannot be limited to rules enacted by superior political authority, then international law can be included in the category of law. Lawrence aptly remarked that everything depends upon the definition of law which we choose to adopt.

An issue in theoretical basis on what should prevail or which is supreme between International Law or Municipal Law (national law) is usually presented as a competition between monism and dualist. But in modern approach there is now the theory of coordination or is also called Harmonization theory that rejects the presumption of the other two theoretical concept, monism and dualism. The monist view asserts the international law’s supremacy over the municipal law even in matters within the internal or domestic jurisdiction of a state. While it is true that the international law defines the legal existence of states as well of the validity of its national legal order, the dualist asserts the international law is an existing system that is completely separated from municipal or national law. That dictates the

The text is about the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which states the fundamental rights and freedoms everyone universally is entitled to (Rayner). As a result of World War II, the United Nations established a Human Rights Commission, which dealt with the violations of human rights the victims of World War II suffered (History of the Document). Eleanor Roosevelt was appointed as a delegate to the United Nations and soon became the chair of the Commission (Lewis). In her speech she is speaking to the United Nations General Assembly in order to convince them to endorse the Declaration of Human Rights. Eleanor Roosevelt delivered this speech on December 9, 1948 (Eidenmuller).

Just like Waxman says it is important to coordinate international law for effectiveness but in my opinion it sometimes takes too long. (Waxman 19) I think the US could go in right away to prevent more people from dying and coordinate with everyone else after we are in there. Waxman states “Channeling decisions on the use of force through the UN Security Council, for example, has among its advantages bringing military actions within the same decision-making structure—and with the same crucial parties—as many decisions on the other instruments,” but i think would be just as effective if one country rushed in right away then had the other countries come in to back them up. (Waxman

England was the home to one of the first Professional Armies and they proved quite useful. The New Model Army was used against Charles I and the cavaliers in many battles and was vital for the Roundhead’s cause in the Civil War. England started to become a noticeable European power after

However, Madison states that each branch will naturally try to have more power than the other. To control this, he explains the Separation of Powers and the Checks and Balances. In the United States, the Separation of Power has their own jobs but cannot function without each other. In addition, he mentions that this type of system needs to have Checks and Balances; each branch has a check on the other two and doesn’t allow the branches to trample on each other. This type of system has protected liberty and battled oppressive government.

Conclusion a. Restated thesis: As seen in the Great War for Empire of 1754-1763 and the American Civil War of 1861-1865, societal, political, and / or economic changes, although progressive in nature and intended to prevent conflict did impact whether societies waged “limited” or “total” war. b. Significance: The modern day officer must become a student of history, requiring evaluation of these influences on how we fight. Societal views change or differ, political environment and views often differ, and economic posturing is ever present. These factors determine not only if a country wages war, but how a country wages war.
