Introduction The number on international organizations is on the increase because many nations are seeing the importance of uniting to enable them in achieving their set objectives. Similarly, there are many challenges, which nations face such terrorism, economic downturn, corruption, civil war among others that call for international community to intervene. Similarly, international organizations have a rich history which dates back decades ago when nations saw the need of pulling their resources together to enable them have strengths of overcoming different problems. Hence, international organizations play a critical role in ensuring member nations or nations within their operation area benefits from service offered. Similarly, international There was a large displacement of people, death, and destruction of property which was a loss to every nation. Similarly, people were not prepared for the war hence no structures were placed leading to many effects not expected. Since the end of the war, many international organizations were formed to deal with aftermath of the war and restore normalcy among the affected nations and to the world. Hence, international organization was formed to deal with challenge of immigrants who seek refuge in the neighboring countries for safety. International organization for migration (IOM) was established in 1951 after the WW II in the western or European nations where the war took place. Its primary goals was to help western nation and their governments to identify countries where they could resettle people who were displaced after the WW II. The displaced population was considered over 11 million and they had nowhere to go or call home leading to intervention of western nations and other in every part of the Some are formed because of joint refforts between various governments or staes as other are formed for humanitarian purposes. Despite their differences in formation, moist of the international organizations were formed to bring normalcy after WW II.

Next in 1899, 1907, 1954 the International Peace Convention (originally The Hague Convention) where held because, in the last wars multiple cultural, art, literature and artifacts pieces were destroyed. Also, the community notice the rise in technology of weapons. The rules of war from the two convention consist of National and Cultural Symbols, Chemical and Biological warfare, Wounded and Sick Soldiers, POW (Geneva III), Civilians and Occupation, and Cultural Property. All of those are rules of war and the are severe consequences if they are broken. The United Nations and International Court of Justice (also known as the World Court) will take care of war crimes. Multiple other organizations were made by the U.N. to take care of certain wars for people such as, Nazi's and The Civil war in Yugoslavia. All countries are suppose to respect and follow the rules of war no matter the
International organizations such as NATO and the UN are essential not only for global peace, but also as a place where middle powers can exert their influence. It is understandable that since the inception of such organizations that many crises have been averted, resolved, or dealt with in some way thro...
This has led organisations such as Refugee councils and Refugee Action
Intergovernmental Organizations do many different things for the international world. They make collective goods, mediate, provide information and even authorize retaliation. One of the fundamental ideas behind IGO’s is that states will value their membership, and want to comply and contribute to ensure their membership and alliance to the IGO as well as the other members. Thus, in a perfect world if all states complied with IGO guidelines, there would be very little to no conflict. Naturally this doesn’t always happen and unfortunately conflict can arise from a lack of compliance. A recent example of this is Russia and their invasion and attempt to annex Crimea.
Refugee Resettlement is a collaborative process between countries, international organizations and non governmental organizations (NGOs) that give refugees the chance to start a new life in a stable country. (Miliband, 2016) The UNHRC is the international body that serves as a gateway to resettlement while receiving nations maintain their own security, vetting and resettlement processes. No country is legally obliged to resettle refugees, therefore there are only a limited number of countries that offer refugee resettlement and between these countries, there is significant variation in resettlement policies. (UNHCR, 2016) Resettlement requires collaboration and investments at an early stage (establishing infrastructure, processes and relationships
According to the 1951 Refugee Convention, refugee is a term applied to anyone who is outside his/her own country and cannot return due to the fear of being persecuted on the basis of race, religion, nationality, membership of a group or political opinion. Many “refugees” that the media and the general public refer to today are known as internally displaced persons, which are people forced to flee their homes to avoid things such as armed conflict, generalized violations of human rights or natural and non-natural disasters. These two groups are distinctly different but fall ...
IMC was established 1984 by Dr. Robert Simon in an effort to change the face of international relief work. The inspiration to start IMC started with Dr. Simon’s work with the people of Afghanistan after conflicts with the former Soviet Union in the 1970’s. Since 1984, ICM has expanded its operations to 70 countries providing both long-term relief and emergency response. Most recently, IMC provided disaster relief for Tsunami victims in Japan and those devastated by the 2012 Typhoon in the Philippines. (International Medical Corps, 2013a)
The United Nations High Commissioner Refugees (UNHCR) is an international organization that works to protect and assist refugees anywhere in the world, by providing shelter, health, safeguarding individuals, assessing global needs and advocating for those populations (UNHCR, 2016). In fact, the 5 groups the UNHCR helps are refugees in Eastern of Turkey, The diaspora from Africa, refugees in South America, refugees in the Middle East and refugees from Syria (Salopek, 2015). Generally, refugees are those who flee from inevitable, often long-term violence and other difficult living conditions brought on by the war. The United Nations more narrowly describes refugees as "persons who are outside their country and cannot return owing to a well-founded fear of persecution because of their race, religion, nationality, political opinion,

Firstly, I will talk about refugees. After war ended, a lot of people became refugees. For
A refugee is defined as an individual who has been forced to leave their country due to political or religious reasons, or due to a threat of war or violence. There were 19.5 million refugees worldwide at the end of 2014, 14.4 million under the mandate of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR), around 2.9 million more than in 2013. The other 5.1 million Palestinian refugees are registered with the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA). With the displacement of so many people, it is difficult to find countries willing to accept all the refugees. There are over 125 different countries that currently host refugees, and with this commitment comes the responsibility of ensuring these refugees have access to the basic requirements of life: a place to live, food to eat, and a form of employment or access to education.
Globalization has led to several substantial changes in global governance and the entities participating in governance activities. First, over the past 70 years, an increasing number of nations have signed onto international agreements. For example, when the Global Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) was created in 1947, it had no institutional structure; by 2009, though, more than 150 nations – accounting for 97% of world trade – were members of GATT’s successor, the World Trade Organization (Fidler, 2009). The World Health Organization, started in 1946, now comprises 194 member states and has nearly 150 country offices (Council on Foreign Relations, 2012). In both of these entities – and in others, such as the Genera...
Between January and November of this year, more than 750,000 migrants have been estimated crossing into the EU’s borders, compared to only 280,000 in the whole year during 2014 (www.bbc.com). This influx of refugees and asylum seekers from the Middle East has become a heavy burden on European Union policy makers. Many state leaders have opposing viewpoints and varying solutions to the crisis that is plaguing their region, and as a result there has been little to no action taken to solve this ever growing problem. This crisis should serve as a prime example of global cooperation, and it should highlight the ability to come together internationally and deal with important problems that affect all individuals. The solution to the refugee crisis will forever stand as a precedent for how the world deals with humanitarian issues in the future.

Fifty-one countries established the United Nations also known as the UN on October 24, 1945 with the intentions of preserving peace through international cooperation and collective security. Over the years the UN has grown in numbers to include 185 countries, thus making the organization and its family of agencies the largest in an effort to promote world stability. Since 1954 the UN and its organizations have received the Nobel Peace Prize on 5 separate occasions. The first in 1954 awarded to the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, Geneva, for its assistance to refugees, and finally in 1988 to the United Nations Peace-keeping Forces, for its peace-keeping operations. As you can see, the United Nations efforts have not gone without notice.
