International Peace And Security: A Collective Responsibility

-


 The maintenance of international peace and security is a fundamental principle of the United Nations Charter and a collective responsibility of all nations. The world has witnessed numerous conflicts, wars, and acts of terrorism that have resulted in immense human sufferings, pillage, displacements, and economic devastations. The need for international cooperation to prevent and resolve conflicts, and to promote peace and security, has never been more pressing.

The United Nations Security Council (UNSC) plays a critical role in maintaining international peace and security. The UNSC has the primary responsibility for the maintenance of international peace and security, and it has the power to impose sanctions, authorize the use of force, and establish peacekeeping missions. However, the UNSC has been criticized for its inability to prevent or resolve some conflicts, and for its lack of representation of developing countries.

Conflict prevention is a key aspect of ensuring international peace and security. Preventive diplomacy, mediation, and negotiation can help to prevent conflicts from escalating into violence. The UN, regional organizations, and civil society organizations play a critical role in conflict prevention. Peacekeeping is another important aspect of international peace and security. The UN has established numerous peacekeeping missions around the world to help countries transition from conflicts to peace. Nigeria has contributed significantly to the UN peacekeeping missions, and has played a key role in promoting peace and security in West Africa, though not in her own country. 

Counter-terrorism is also a critical aspect of international peace and security. Terrorism poses a significant threat to global peace and security, and it requires a collective response from the international community. The humanitarian consequences of conflicts are immense, and the international community has a responsibility to protect civilians and provide humanitarian assistance. The UN has established several mechanisms to protect, including the Protection of Civilians (POC) agenda, and the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine. 

In conclusion, international peace and security are collective responsibilities that require cooperation and collaboration among all nations. The UN, regional organizations, and civil society organizations play a crucial role in promoting peace and security across the world.

Menace Of Parental Estrangement In The World

Parental estrangement is a painful and complex issue that affects millions of families across all latitudes of the world, with disastrous implications for emotional distress, social isolation, loneliness, and long-lasting consequences for elderly parents, and their adult children. Wherever you go, you will see lonely elderly parents who lack food, clothes, shelter, and healthcare delivery services. Their adult sons and daughters are in the cities of their own countries, or have even migrated to other far away countries in quest of greener pastures to survive. Their hungry and helpless aged parents at the rural areas are depending on them for survival, whereas their children in the cities are earnestly struggling to succeed in the face of harsh economic conditions. Many of these adult children in the cities who have elderly parents at home are unemployed. Many of them receive very small wages at the end of the month. Their wages are unable to meet the financial needs of the nuclear fami...

Coping With A Resistant And Toxic Partner In The Family

-

 Family dynamics are complex and challenging issues, especially when dealing with a resistant and toxic husband or wife. The emotional toll of living under the same roof with someone who is resistant to change and toxic in conducts and behaviours can be very painful and frustrating, affecting not only the involved spouse but also the children and other family members. A resistant and toxic partner can exhibit behaviours such as emotional manipulation, gaslighting, and blame-shifting. A resistant and toxic husband or wife is always right ( in his/ her own evaluation and reasoning), unwilling indeed to take responsibility of his/ her actions. Rather than coming down from his/ her high horse to apologize for his/ her fault, he/ she will begin to shift the blame to the partner or any other member of the family. He or she feels that he/ she cannot do anything wrong or faulty. This behaviour can be incredibly damaging, leading to feelings of anxiety, depression, and low self-esteem....

Effective Principles Of Co-parenting Children After Divorce

-

        When a marriage ends up in divorce, the most significant challenge for many parents is not the end of the relationship in particular, but the beginning of a new chapter in co-parenting their children. The act of co-parenting requires parents to put aside their differences (which they were unable to reconcile to save the marriage) and work together to raise their children. Divorce indeed has an unspeakable impact on children's emotional, social, and psychological well-beings. Children of divorced partners often experience a litany of emotions: sadness, abandonment, anger, guilt, anxiety, and depression.  They may struggle to adjust to living in two separate households, dealing with conflicting parental expectations, and grappling with the emotional fall-out of their parents' separation. Infallible research has shown that children of divorced partners are more likely to experience behavioral problems, decreased academic performance, and emotional dist...
