#ComparativeHill Here is an example of an NGO taking humanitarian action in an effort to provide human security to refugees of the weak, fragmented Libyan state.

[CBS News @CBSNews]

A European humanitarian group rescued 236 migrants, including 114 unaccompanied minors, from two rubber boats off the coast of Libya on Tuesday.

#ComparativeHill Iran is clearly attempting to pose a threat to US Military Security for whatever reason. Consistent military action is usually required toward small, rogue nations such as Iran due to the threat of Sleeper Cells that they pose on world powers such as the US.

[CNN International @cnni]

Four ships from the Iran's Navy harassed the US Coast Guard operating in the Persian Gulf earlier this month, with one of the ships repeatedly crossing in front of the US patrol boats at very close range despite multiple warnings, the US Navy said. https://t.co/g31yYpJ8jn

#ComparativeHill In an example of Global Environmental Governance, Europe's central banks are stepping up to perform global environmental regulative function any investing in green energy in order to remedy the climate crisis for the future of humanity.

#ComparativeHill In the midst of a domestic crisis, the Ethiopian Prime Minister sent troops up to the northern tip of the country to block trade and loot food. Human lives are at stake so it wouldn't be surprising if other countries take notice and monitor the situation.

#ComparativeHill It's almost astounding to see the EU taking united action against traveling citizens of a powerhouse nation like the United States. It will be very interesting how effectively they can enforce these policies given how difficult it is to enforce International Law.

[CNN International @cnni]

The European Union is seeking to resume "transatlantic travel as soon as it is safe to do so," and is urging member nations to take a unified approach to opening borders to US citizens https://t.co/DmGaDhA9XF

#ComparativeHill International law identifies four global commons including the Seas, the Atmosphere, Antarctica and Outer Space. To expand sovereignty beyond even the global level, Russia intends to claim sovereignty over a portion outer space within the next two decades.

[CNN International @cnni]

Russia is ready to start building its own space station with the aim of launching it into orbit by 2030 if President Vladimir Putin gives the go-ahead, the head of its Roscosmos space agency said https://t.co/0z7eDsQcHw

#ComparativeHill One of the few benefits of the COVID-19 pandemic was a slight break in human activity to revitalize the natural world. As life returns to normal, states and international actors must create a treaty or plan of action in order to combat the environmental crisis.

[NBC News World @NBCNewsWorld]

There are already signs that as countries try to return to a new normal, economic activity — and all the emissions and pollution that go along with it — will creep up again. https://t.co/diwd8VKPJT

[Wyley Sharp @wyleysharp]

#ComparativeHill This is a super interesting instance of international law. A great limitation of international law is that it cannot intervene in the matters which are within the domestic jurisdiction of States, meaning it will be difficult for this women to attain any justice.

#ComparativeHill In an obvious example of carrot diplomacy, the European Union will further bolster India's already rapidly growing economy. Hopefully this will further India's allegiance to the west instead of China and make India a major global influence in the coming years.

#ComparativeHill In the wake of the first global pandemic in over a century, countless IGOs like COVAX, an offshoot of the World Health Organization, European Commission, and Government of France, will be essential in vaccine distribution in poorer, more rural nations.

#ComparativeHill Whether it's an issue of societal security or their own desire to limit China's ever-expanding global influence, Australia decides to practice neoclassical realism instead of using carrot diplomacy with the Chinese superpower to their north.

#ComparativeHill Instead of ineffective and costly US Liberal Hegemony, the Biden administration should exert US liberal influence through a region-driven, sovereignty approach to expand peace and prosperity in Afghanistan, even amid ongoing conflict, without requiring force.

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

U.S. policy in fragile states is often perceived as a binary choice between either total retrenchment or top-down state-building. It doesn’t have to be. https://t.co/w2OBZxdtfu

[Wyley Sharp @wyleysharp]

#ComparativeHill So many African states are on the bad side of international power asymmetry due to their lack of size and strength. As for getting vaccines, even another third world country like India takes precedence due to international economic interest inside the country.

India’s surging third wave could directly affect Africa’s access to vaccines, FP’s @lynseychutel writes in this week’s Africa Brief. https://t.co/E3S0W7qKJ4

#ComparativeHill The multipolar nuclear world is just another embodiment of how difficult international law is to enforce. Even with their attempts to establish a central enforcement mechanism, international treaties may not suffice

[Foreign Policy @ForeignPolicy]

Even if bilateral hotlines existed for all nuclear-armed states, they would no longer meet the needs of a multipolar nuclear world.

#ComparativeHill The US is strongly opposed to the ICC's decision to take action, believing that the IGO has no right to interfere in a country that isn't a part of the organization. Why waste resources in a state that contributes nothing to the organization?

[Wyley Sharp @wyleysharp]

#ComparativeHill Generally, the International Criminal Court has every right to take action against a country suspected of war-crimes. That being said, their decision to interfere greatly upset Israel as they didn't the 1998 Rome Statute that set up the ICC.

#ComparativeHill The growing threat of Chinese power and sovereignty is altering US Foreign Policy and making it more costly. Biden's defense secretary, Lloyd Austin, started up a task force with the specific purpose improving how the US deals with China, specifically Beijing.

[MSN @MSN]

Austin wants to pivot to China. But can he pay for it? https://t.co/xS5I2DVxHB

[Wyley Sharp @wyleysharp]

#ComparativeHill Despite the distributive cost of immigration, it remains a highly controversial topic. Even under the Biden Administration, it appears that the US is continuing to take a strictly realist approach to the illegal entrance of foreign peoples into the country.

China is only country with economic, diplomatic, military& technological power to seriously challenge stable & open int'l system-all rules, values & relationships that make world work the way we want it to as it serves interests & reflects values of American people:US State Secy

[Wyley Sharp @wyleysharp]

#ComparativeHill For the first time in a long time, The USA is not a monopolar position of world primacy. This is important because it will test the classic approach of liberal hegemony and breed more realist thought within the Biden Administration's Foreign Policy.

[ANI @ANI]

We'll manage biggest geopolitical test of 21st century,our relation with China. Many countries present us with challenges incl Russia, Iran, North Korea. There're serious crises we've to deal with in Yemen, Ethiopia& Burma. But challenge posed by China is different: US State Secy
