In the first chapter, I shall be evaluating the role of the U.N and the current state of play of international security. As in, is there a threat to international security, defining international security and how effective the U.N is at dealing with threats to international security
In the second chapter, I shall be going through the aims and ambitions of each of the three nations. For example, I shall be look at the reasons for ISIS’s actions within its caliphate and across the world. I shall also be looking into each country’s nuclear policy and the current diplomatic relations between these countries and their biggest enemies, and outlining and possible problems, which may arise from these fractured relations.
In my final chapter, I shall be discussing human rights. More specifically, I shall be talking about America’s international violations, for example, mistreatment of prisoners in Iraq and the various issues surrounding the notorious Guantanamo bay. I shall also be looking at forced labour camps in North Korea and the various mass slaughtering of civilians by ISIS. In this chapter, I shall also be looking at how America caused the threat of ISIS and other associated Muslim extremists, and so should be held accountable for any stemming actions of these groups. In my conclusion, I will conclude whether or not America is the biggest threat to international security.
