(411 Kel) I agree with the post United States can assist countries in need but should be more careful giving money to unstable states 200 words please list references
Is in response to this post
“ In Fiscal Year 2010, the U.S. provided more than $1.5 billion in assistance related to good governance and anti-corruption” (Public Law 106-309, 2012). 1.5 billion dollars is a lot of money to help support countries and their corruption issues, especially when a lot of the money went to countries who have a history of instability. Countries like Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Nigeria, and Kenya all suffer from serious instability, which is a major root problem of corruption. While I understand that it is necessary for the United States to pump money into these countries and to help them out, I also think it’s important to be for us to try and fix the issues that are causing the corruption, like conflict and poverty. I just feel it’s a waste of money. In Afghanistan, we tried to help them fight corruption but they refused to take action against the people that were causing the corruption in the first place and it ended up just being a waste of money and resources. If we can’t fix what’s causing corruption, we will never be able to end corruption.
Protecting victims of human trafficking
Combating human trafficking is what I want to get into when I finish school and dealing with the victims is something I would like to focus on as well, so the section of protecting the victims of human trafficking was something that really interested me. The two stories featured at the top, Alexandru who was a migrant worker and got beat up my his boss after complaining about having no electricity or running water and Juana who was trafficked into the sex trade and then deported as an illegal alien, were absolutely heartbreaking. Unfortunately these things happen all too often. Luckily, UNDOC is trying to alleviate the burden victims of human trafficking go through. “In October 2008, UNODC launched its second edition of the Toolkit to Combat Trafficking in Persons. The Toolkit provides practical help to governments, policy-makers, police, NGOs and others to enable them to tackle human trafficking more effectively” (Protecting victims of human trafficking). I think if we are going to combat human trafficking, we have to know how to deal with the victims as well.
Migrant Smuggling
Migrant smuggling is defined as, “"procurement, in order to obtain, directly or indirectly, a financial or other material benefit, of the illegal entry of a person into a State Party of which the person is not a national or a permanent resident.” (Article 3,Smuggling of Migrants Protocol)” (Migrant Smuggling). Reading this section made me think about not only the migrant issues happening in our country and the chaos surrounding it, but also the immigration crises happening in Europe with all of the people fleeing Syria, Iraq, Yemen, and the surrounding areas. Although I have known about smuggling, it’s just disheartening to read this week that smugglers just genuinely don’t care about the people they smuggle as long as they are making money.
