A Significant Amount of Attention Has Been Given to People

question 22

Essay

A significant amount of attention has been given to people in Sudan who have been displaced as a result of ethnic and religious conflict. Do you think that there should be international oversight for people who have been internally displaced? Discuss whether conflicts that take place within national borders but are caused in part by larger global forces should involve international interventions. How does the conflict in Mexico as a result of drug cartel warfare differ from a crisis like the one in Darfur, Sudan?
