Document Summary
Just recently we have seen the arab league suspending syria, in the past the arab league has not don"t anything in terms of human rights. Environment: throughout our lifetime we will be the generation most affected by climate change. Some of the attempts formulating international agreements, accords, regimes institutionalizing the event. How the environment might play a role in the international relations going forward. The environment itself and issues are inherently global; they haven"t always been problematize in a global way. The environment only few decades ago used to be something exclusively in the domestic domains. What we have seen increasing over the years especially things like decolonization and the environmental catastrophes have transgressed regulations. Things like whether a river should be shared or regulated. But we have lacked in the past is any international law or insight into how to operate things; these regimes are pretty ad-hoc. We don"t have any enforceable regimes about greenhouse gases.
