The UN Security Council, which is one of the United Nations five main organs, has the tools to limit ISIS’s power. And down the road effectively defeat them, as they are the most powerful international organization. However, the UN Security Council could also use some reconstruction in certain areas, as the structure and how things operate need to change. The threat of ISIS has dramatically undermined stability in Iraq and frankly, all of the Middle East. ISIS poses as a huge threat to peace and security for people of many countries, all around the globe. As many are aware, ISIS day in and day out continues to commit abuses of human rights and violations of international law. International powers need to collaborate and find solutions to …show more content…
The group has used 21st century technology to spread its extremist ideologies to incite many different types of terrorist acts. The one international organization and major actor that needs to address ISIS is the UN Security Council. The question is what tools does the UN Security Council have to limit their power, and money that is continually streamlined in. Consequently, the Security Council currently only deals with states, therefore it is a difficult proposition for the organization to intervene with ISIS. However, in the past, the council “calls upon the parties to a dispute to settle it by peaceful means and recommends methods of adjustment or terms of settlement”(Security Council UN). Furthermore, the Security Council has the right to impose sanctions and use force to restore peace around the globe. It was noted in UN Security Council Resolution 2170, “terrorism can only be defeated by a sustained and comprehensive approach involving the active participation and collaboration of all States… which is why our first priority is to encourage others to join in this important endeavor.” Back in 2014, the Security Council put forth a few plans to defeat and limit the power of ISIS. The UN Security Council also worked with NATO to lay these solutions out. The first solution is providing military support to our middle east partners and allies like Hungry. Secondly, the UN Security Council and
During ISIS’s rise to power, there have been several key players, which have influenced the growth or decline of its movement. The center of Gravity (COG) for ISIS has been its ability to recruit volunteer foreign fighters from around to engage in its caliphate. In addition, local people from Iraqi, Syrian, and other Nations have been key players because of ISIS’s efforts promote fear and violence against their family or communities. Sunnis and Shia countries focused on regional power and security. Furthermore, the U.S. and its 70 Allies through Operation Inherent Resolve Campaign aim to defeat ISIS and promoting regional stability. The last key players are rival terrorist franchises or organizations like AQ, Taliban, Al Shabaab, and Hamas
Isis is a big problem in society that needs to be eliminated The U.S. Isis is a dangerous anti American society who is causing trouble in Syria, Iraq, and even her in the u.s. Isis has done plenty of mass murders and shootings that have caused lives. The main problem with them is that they are infiltrating the U.S which is a major threat to society considering they are only here to cause damage.
ISIS is a terrorist group that originated from Al Qaeda in 2004. This group was an ally to Osama Bin Laden’s notorious Al Qaeda; “meaning they both were radical anti-Western militant groups devoted to establishing independent Islamic state in the region” (Thompson, 2015). The differences with ISIS and Osama’s terrorist group is that ISIS has proved to be more brutal and more effective at controlling the territory it has seized. With ISIS being the strongest current terrorist organization the question has been proposed; how will the world defeat this “group”? How has it affected the world? How will the end of this “organization” affect the world, if there ever will be an end? In order for ISIS to be destroyed all of these questions must be
Recently a military group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) has been causing controversy between the group and the United States. However, what many might not know is that ISIS has been around for more than a decade. When the United States sent troops in to overthrow Hussein’s government in 2003, it started a tension that would have never been expected. ISIS has conquered many places and gained much land. ISIS is believed to have contributors from the 9/11 attack (infobaselearning.com) and they have been known to go to the extreme to enforce their law. From the beheading of Christians, to the cruel treatment of women, the punishment is very brutal.
The author Audrey Kurth Cronin compared the terrorist group Al–Qaeda to ISIS. She said that ISIS is not really a terrorist group. As awful and unusual that it sounds, I think she's right. ISIS is a very dangerous organization that IS doing terrible things to humanity, there's no argument about it. But the definition that ISIS is just a "terrorist group" is a mistake. Therefore, if the U.S continues to do what they have done so far, it will not be enough for this new threat. There has to be another way to defeat ISIS. I agree with the author that the solution is a strategy of offensive containment.
Firstly, here are some ambitious events showing that ISIS is threatening the world security and order. On November 13th, 2015, the Islamic State killed more than 100 people at several locations in Paris. On October 31st, 2015, 224 people died when a Russian jetliner crashes after leaving Egypt 's Sinai Peninsula, and ISIS claimed their responsibility. On March 20th, 2015, 137 death were caused by suicide bombers attack two mosques in Yemen. Except the casualty, their violence behaviours also aroused fear and chaos across the world. As a result, these terror attacks had changed the way of our lives. According to Hedley Bull (1995), one of the most fundamental goals of the anarchical society is upholding the independence of member states, maintaining peace, and helping to secure the normative foundations of all social life, which includes the limitation of violence (Jackson, 2013). To save the world basic human values, security, order and justice, those countries in power must weaken if not topple these dangerous radicals from their pedestals. The United States need to start a legal battle as the state is supposed to ensure the value of security and protect their citizens. Other than that, another solution for the extremism is to wait until either the world vital energy is not petrol oil anymore, or the oil resources in the middle east run out. However, it will probably take a long time for this solution. If the United Nation is not able to get rid of the extremism in a
Terrorist groups exist they will do whatever it takes to accomplish what they desire. ISIS is a rebellious group in which no matter the circumstances people are in they will attack in the most cold-hearted way possible. These people do not think for others and we need to be able to save these children from becoming dangerous. People and children may be in the worst poverty possible but ISIS really has to learn it is not about who has the actual roots or greatest power but it is about allowing people to govern their country the best way possible for other generations. At the end of the day we are all human and we must be aware of what occurs around us, everyday many tragic events take place but we must stand united and show that we can get through it. When it comes to terrorist groups, we will show them that it is important to grant people the basic freedoms to live in an ideal
The United States first tool to achieve these goals is diplomatic. First, the United States needs to retract the policy that the United States does not negotiate with Terrorists. Negotiation creates a negative connotation of concession or handing power over to the enemy. Negotiation, however, can be mere discussion with the enemy to find a way to end violence. Diplomatic tools consist of treaties, conventions, alliances, and accords. Holding conventions and creating accords will be the most successful approaches. Treaties require Senate and Presidential approval which can be a lengthy process and is tied up in domestic politics. The United States already has certain alliances and it is necessary to cultivate them, but in the context of ISIS and Syria, alliances are already set with the Free Syrian Army. Conventions to bring together many nations in the Middle East, Europe, and the United States, to formulate agreements and accords with the states that are involved in Syria and fighting ISIS. ISIS, should not be a signatory since they are not a recognized state, but should be able to attend to make decisions with an understanding of ISIS’ wants because by understanding their objectives and interests we are better able to make policy to decrease violence of ISIS.
ISIS is a very unique phenomenon occurring in the Middle East. The United States Department of State has designated the entity a foreign terrorist organization (US Department of State 2014). The group is very different than the Islamic extremists that the United States has dealt with over the years. Instead of hiding in remote compounds and living secret lives amongst the general population, ISIS has conquered vast regions of Iraq and Syria. However, ISIS does share similarities with other Islamic terrorist organizations. Several of these terror groups have attacked the United States in the past. Some attempts were unsuccessful, but others were successful. The United States must realize that ISIS is the newest threat to national security and the hindrance to the stabilization of the Middle East. Politicians and counterterrorism operatives must realize that at some point, ISIS will attempt an attack on the United States. Fortunately, the United States has a vast collection of data on Islamic extremists and there organizations. It is possible that the key to creating a counterterrorism strategy exists in the data that has been gathered about other Islamic terror groups. If the objectives and themes of ISIS match that of terror groups that the United States has previously prevented terror attacks from, then perhaps a similar strategy can be effective.
In this essay, I shall be discussing whether the UN Security Council (hereafter referred to as the Security Council) is fit for purpose in the 21st Century. The approach I will be taking is more of a generic outlook; examining which fragments of the Security Council requires reformation.
ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria) is a terrorist group that is trying to build a caliphate in Syria, as well as evoking war with the United States. ISIS first started as a branch off of Al- Qaeda; until February 2014, when they broke away from Al- Qaeda. According to K.T. McFarland, a national security analyst, ISIS has raped and tortured it’s way through Syria and Iraq, killing those who won’t join their group.. They have managed to recruit thousands of citizens from around the world to join their cause. ISIS is a realistic threat to the U.S. and the world, and the US needs to stop them.
While the United States has taken some action to deal with this pressing issue, it has not been enough thus far. According to the Journal of Strategic Security, specializing in the International Center for the Study of Violent Extremism, point out that military launches through air strikes have managed to lessen ISIS’s control in Iraq and Syria by de-financing the group through limiting their use access oil. However, this alone has not and will not stop the functioning of ISIS. The Journal of Strategic Security expresses that while the military movement was a good effort, ISIS has plans “to expand its support base and intensify its attacks outside of Iraq and Syria.” Simply putting restrictions on ISIS is not enough, just as attacking from the air is counter productive and causing more damage rather than removing ISIS. Likewise, the Journal of Strategic Security continues to discuss that ISIS has a solid group of foreign fights worldwide that are disposable and able to be controlled easily. This leaves room for continual attacks and replenishment of members. Thus, it is imperative that the United States use ground troops to eradicate
They have people from Africa, Asia, Europe, and Northern American ISIS is a threat to global peace and people globally, that is why it not only up to the Iraqi and Syrian government to eradicate them. Although it is clearly not just an American problem, America still needs to step in and aid others trying to end ISIS. America should not launch a full-fledged military campaign, it would exhaust resources (Cronin). What America needs to do to defeat ISIS is continue with a limited military campaign and major diplomatic efforts. The only way to defeated ISIS is to contain them, they need to be suffocated of their resources, technology, ammunition, and weapons. Obama supports this thought, he stated although they were not a real threat right now, they could be if left unchecked. America needs to continue with airstrikes. They have proved effective, their leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was deathly injured during an USA led in March this year. Although this would not kill ISIS it is a huge step forward. ISIS has lost plenty of land in Iraq, they are not completely disappearing yet though, but this is why America needs to continue to work with the Iraqi government and military. Recently, America held a meeting with world leaders to discuss what should be done to fight ISIS back. ISIS is not only trying to target America, they are trying to challenge international order, that is why America and worldwide leaders need to work together to stop ISIS. Every major government should stiffen the arms embargo on ISIS. The great news about this is that no government supports ISIS, they have made enemies with almost
Today, one of the biggest issues facing the United States as well as the rest of the world is the Sunni-militant group which goes by the name of “ISIS,” or the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. It has been the topic for major discussion for the past three years, with many leaders of major countries and nations trying to figure out how to defeat them. ISIS is a powerful force and has been for several years and many countries including the United States are trying to figure out how to stop them.
Japan firmly believes we need to take action to reform the Security Council before it loses its legitimacy and efficiency as an essential tool for the maintenance of peace and security. Japan is ready to discuss, with a flexible and realistic viewpoint, different options, which will lead the way for the expansion in both permanent and non-permanent categories. Japan is working proactively to increase both the permanent and non-permanent membership of the council. Japan is the second largest contributor to the UN, behind the United States and is the world's largest donor of official development assistance. Japan's commitment to the United Nations, supported by its national strength should allow the nation to assume greater global responsibility through the efforts of the Security Council.
