Isis In A Containable Prison Case Study

This article also examines the meaning and implementation of universal jurisdiction. For no sanction mechanisms have been created to induce them, without their consent, to abide by their obligations, until now only the goodwill of states could be relied on to guarantee their implementation in good faith. Before ending with some possible remedies to minimize potential

What happened at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq can only be described as war crimes. The torture of prisoners under American control includes being beaten, stripped, shocked, and starved of food among many other cruelties. In spite of the overwhelming proof of crimes, many of those involved were only charged with abuse of prisoners not of war crimes. Of those involved, only the lower to mid-level personnel were charged. The overseer of the prison, General Janis Karpinski, was only relieved of her command. Other top level personnel within the army were cleared of all wrongdoing.

To support my argument, I will first discuss the evolution of international criminal justice and the ICC. Then I will address my three subsidiary arguments. First, I will argue that the International Criminal Court is effective because it increases accountability of human rights violators. Secondly, I will argue that the existence and use of the court increases disapproval and deterrence which protects human rights making the ICC effective. Third, I will argue that the International Criminal Court is effective because it allows for a universal standard of acceptable and unacceptable behaviour as well as transcends and empowers national jurisdictions. Finally, I will address the counter argument and conclude.

Question 1. According to Angela Davis (2003a), social historian Mike Davis was the first to coin the term prison industrial complex, in his research of the California penal system in the 1990s. The prison industrial complex refers to the coinciding relationship between corporations, government, correctional communities, and their collective economic interest in prison expansion and high rates of incarceration (Davis, 2003a). That is, each of these components benefit economically from perpetuating the notion that increasing crime rates are the causation for prison expansion. However, scholars and activists contest this belief, stating that crime rates are decreasing, and that prison expansion is done to increase profits through imprisonment (Davis, 2003a). In this model, criminal justice policy, crime control and the bodies of the marginalized, are organized and managed using a business philosophy focused solely of profitability.

Islamic States of Iraq and Sham ISIS, Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, al Qaeda in Iraq, Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), Islamic State, Da’ish is an active group formed c. 2014. ISIS is a terrorist group that sole purpose is pushing their beliefs on others and if their religion isn’t accepted in the appropriate way (how they expected) they then result to violence. Da’ish is the official name of the terrorist group known as ISIS, dramatically arrived and shocked many people in the West. The horrifying and violent events that have occurred since the appearance if ISIS struck fear into the hearts of people all across the world. Even though fear is an extreme emotion, the hatred that came with it is even stronger and is more Ernest.

There is a problem in the United States. There is an excess of terrorists and having the most powerful nation on Earth means that these terrorists often end up in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This prison is based on 45 square miles of land that is known more commonly as Gitmo. Most people believe Guantanamo is a good concept but has gone terribly wrong. The government needs to do something because with the current proposal from President Obama, detainees would be moved ashore and abroad, which would not fix the problem. The problem is, what do we do with all these terrorists? If this proposal passes through, people will be worried and need answers about Gitmo. Why should the most dangerous people in the world come on American soil?

this essay I will attempt to examine and analyse the effectiveness of international courts and

Radicalization process in prisons in not a new phenomenon. Prisons have served as a school for criminals throughout history. The education the inmates receive in these institutions can be either positive and allow them to progress once they are out, or very negative and lead to radicalize inmates with extreme ideologies. It is crucial to understand the definition of radicalization, which is a process by which an individual or a group comes to adopt increasingly extreme political, social, or religious ideals and aspirations that reject or undermine the status quo or reject and/or undermine contemporary ideas and expressions of freedom of choice. Throughout history prisons have bred racial ideologies that spread not only in prison but throughout

ISIS has been a rapidly increasing threat to not just the United States of America, but the entire world. ISIS has done countless brutal, sick, heart wrenching things that have caused a national and international uproar in the citizens of numerous countries. ISIS considers them the Islamic State, and they seem to have many motives. They basically want a large portion of the Middle east under ISIS control and for the rest of the world to accept their disgusting “traditions” as they claim they are doing, This threat has done some very unspeakable things; the problem needs to be solved. Considering the view the United State holds right now, there are a few actions that can be taken to reduce this threat that ISIS presents. ISIS has rapidly become an enormous problem for most of, if not all of the world. There are some very simple and some very complicated ways to solves this problem. The most efficient way is to simple go to war with ISIS and physically, mentally and emotionally destroy everything and everyone that is supporting this cause, another way is to give them what they desire to have, finally the last option is just completely ignore the foreign issue until it presents itself on U.S. soil. After an online video emerged on Tuesday, January 21st, 2015, showing ISIS threatening to kill two Japanese hostages, relatively little was known about the relationship between the two prisoners. But Reuters News revealed later that next day

The International Criminal Court (ICC), created in 1998 (Thayer and Ibryamova 2010), is responsible for investigating and prosecuting the most extreme cases, including crimes against humanity, aggressive crimes, war crimes, and genocide. The credibility of this institution, however, has been compromised due to the United States revocation of support and membership. Initially it is important to recognize the arguments against the United States becoming a member state of the ICC and what precipitated the U.S. withdrawing its signature from the document that instituted the Court. Once this has been established, addressing and refuting these objections will develop the arguments in favor of ICC membership. Finally, this analysis will lead to

The main issue associated with overcrowding is inmate idleness. Inmate idleness is when an inmate spends endless hours in a jail cell doing absolutely nothing that causes an inmate to become restless. In first generation and second-generation jails, idleness is one of the factors contributing to high rates of physical and sexual assaults amongst inmates (Siegel & Bartillo, 2014).

2.3 million people are in jail or prisons in the United States of America. America's incarceration rate is more than 7 times that of European countries. 84,000 people in our prison systems are in solitary confinement. From 1995 to 2005 solitary confinement increased by 40%. From 2008 to 2013 it increased by 17%. Although solitary confinement has been used since the first prison, it is detrimental to the mental health and rehabilitation of inmates, and therefore should be banned from use in America's correctional facilities.

Chip Ellis is a coordinator for the National Memorial Institute for the prevention of Terrorism and he provides some very insightful information on how someone in prison becomes radicalized and loyal to a terrorist group (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). The type of inmates that are most susceptible to radicalization are those who feel they have little worth, require protection, and looking to identify with a group (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). Mr. Ellis states that these types of folks while in prison have little distractions and extremists take advantage of this by subjecting them to other radical inmates and preach anti-US rhetoric during their prayer time (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). Even the FBI states that al-Qaeda attempts to enlist these convicts estimated at a population of 9,600 (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). John Pistole, a FBI counterterrorism chief, said this: “These terrorists seek to exploit our freedom to exercise religion to their advantage by using radical forms of Islam to recruit operatives”. The question then, is how can we prevent terrorists from taking advantage of our religious freedom?

Kohlberg’s morality theory defines various levels and stages where a person’s morality can be tested on a scale. Reviewing the Stanford prison experiment and the Abu Ghraib prison was interesting. The guards in the Stanford prison experiment reacted differently than each other and showed different levels of morality. In the Abu Ghraib prison, the guards were put in a real life situation where the morals were tested. It was fascinating to see how the two different scenarios had similar behaviors.

When comparing apples to pears, one is not making a fair comparison, but a disproportionate comparison. Often times when international law is discussed or attempts are made to understand international law; many often attempt to compare international law with existing laws such as national law or domestic law. Making such disproportionate comparisons leads to many misconceived notions and attitudes toward international law. For an adequate comparison of international law to other laws, one should look closely at the available facts. This essay will demonstrate the vitality of international law, in a world of nations which continue to increase in interdependence.
