In 2009, at the behest of the Obama administration, the United States joined 152 other countries in endorsing a U.N. Arms Trade Treaty Resolution. The resolution establishes an international conference to be held next year, at which leaders from countries around the world-many of which have deplorable human rights records-will draw up an international treaty designed to severely restrict or even outright ban your right to sell, purchase, carry or own a firearm. Just two years ago, NRA fought a push to consider a 1997 Organization of American States gun control treaty in the Senate.

International Adoption has both good and bad sides to it. This website shows debates leaning towards either side in order to allow the reader to form their opinion off of well-rounded material.

Brian Brown of the National Organization for Marriage launches a new anti-LGBTQ group, the International Organization for the Family. He believes in "pro-family" and "defies the LGBT culture". Should marriage only be between a man and a women?

This is extremely sad to see but not surprising. Homophobia is still around and these people are hateful. The hope is hat they don't manage to get any laws past that might hurt LGBT people. The supreme court ruled that for marriage equality.

I agree, this is truly a sad state of affairs, but in the current political climate not at all surprising.

This article is from Fordham's International Law Journal, one of the most competitive international law periodicals in the world. It compares how the access to justice in America relates to the access of justice in other countries. It contains several tables about relative government expenditures on civil legal services.

Amanda B. Clinton wrote an article talking about the crisis refugees are facing with psychological health. She stated that the APA Office of International Affairs hosted a program called the International Learning Partner Program in Kosovo. 10 U.S. based psychologists who joined the program in Kosovo allowed people like Ilir, an expert in Balkan culture, who had no choice but to flee his country.According to United Nations High Commissions on Refugees every 20 minutes people leave everything behind in order to escape the terror of war and persecution. Okazaki, Haarlammert, Guler and Liu (2019), indicated that psychology has never been more important than it is today. With the strong leadership in the APA evidence on the recognition of the refugees rights has increasingly gotten a lot better.

This website covers some of the 10 reasons that the Coalition Against Trafficking in Women International thinks of why prostitution should not be legalized. Some of the reasons they provide and argue for is that the legalization would promote sex trafficking. They also argue that it would expand the industry instead of controlling the industry of prostitutes. 

I totally agree with this topic, and article. I find it very disturbing to see people sell their bodies, or even "pimps" selling our for their own profit.

President Trump signed an order to block aid going to foreign organizations who promote or give abortions. Could punish foreign organizations for exercising freedom of speech.

This article tells about Donald Trump signing an executive order to defund Planned Parenthood. It also states that the International Planned Parenthood Federation plans on not stopping abortions.

I think the president is a social just issue on his own. the more I read on what he is doing the more I can't believe that he was elected. All your articles that you have found provide great information that I was completely unaware of, this being one of them.

President Trump signed an executive order on Monday halting all federal funds from organizations that promote abortion around the world, including Planned Parenthood. This bill will prohibit some of the poorest women around the world from having a choice in what to do with their bodies.

Comparison of America's current threat conditioned response to loss of personal freedoms to the Japanese internment camps of World War Two.

Today is Open Borders Day - an international event created to celebrate the ideal of freedom of movement across international boundaries. Open borders is a radical principle, but also one deeply rooted in American history and in widely held liberal values of liberty and happiness.

Barbara Reynolds, who was a civil rights activist in the 1960's, shares her take on the international rights group Black Lives Matter. She explores the differences in the two rights movements and why she disagrees with how this new movement is being handled.

When I first heard the definition of this international law I was shocked to say the least. The definition states that foreign government officials are above judges and officers. With deeper research I learned there's more to the story.

I had never heard of Diplomatic Immunity until now. Thank you for sharing! I, as well, found it to be very surprising that foreign diplomats are, to some extent, "above the law."

Wow, it never occurred to me that such a thing like Diplomatic Immunity exists. This article is definitely eye-opening and helped me gain a better understanding if what it means. Had you not provided this information, I may have never known about it.

This website highlights Amnesty International's goals and campaigns for the next couple of years. Freedom and equal rights for all, while responding to the most glaring crises. Taking injustice personal seems to be the best way to think about humanity, in my opinion.

The Amnesty International suggests that America should treat human rights respectfully in any movements they make in the reputation of countering terrorism or national security. On the downside, America's political authorities are creating an anti-human rights motive when bringing about counter-terrorism, lethal force, surveillance, Guantanamo, and freedom of expression.

No secret that a lot of human rights get violated in the name of National Security. But hard to stop this kind of stuff because it all happens so secretly. By the time we find out its been happening for years.

Gun violence in America is discriminated towards people of color, gender differences, and so much more. The amount of damage a gun can cause in the wrong hands is strictly based off the person internal thoughts. The social injustice that comes with people having guns is bad

The IRC (International Rescue Committee) is seriously concerned about females rights in Afghanistan. Females should be able to work, go to school, and move freely. As of August 2021, the response plan funding for women and girls has drastically diminished making them more prone to violence, child labor, and forced marriages. Since international support has slowly been fading away, almost 1 million children will miss out on education.

Despite the article referring to women and young girls distinctly why choose to rename your bookmark and pointedly refer to them as females rather than as the article intends? Your article covers rather dehumanizing issues so it strikes me as odd that out of all this your choice was to choose a word you could apply to any non human mammal rather than the women of Afghanistan. Did you not think that the article used the language "women and girls" for the reason of both humanization and to clarify that perhaps the rights of a female mammal weren't at stake here but the human population that happens to be female?

Explains what adoption is, gives information. Provides news and future prospective of adoption in America and elsewhere.

Article discusses the Chinese government blocking web sites that it deems to be 'politically sensitive'. Web sites about the revolts against the government in other countries are blocked and have lead to more limits on internet searches. Other sites that are critical of government officials have also blocked and negative comments about them are deleted. The Chinese government now requires internet service providers to obtain their customers real names in an effort to cut internet anonymity.
