Elsewhere, King David Callaghan is jolted from his bed when Earl Michal charges through his chamber’s door. “You need to get up, now,” he says, drawing back the curtains, allowing the bright sunlight to shine directly on the king’s face. “There’s news coming from the Wylie’s Kingdom that concerns you.” “Do you know what time it is?” the king yells, climbing out of bed. He yawns. His eyes were red from tiredness. His body move at a sluggish pace. He woke at the slightest of sound, and barely had one hour of unbroken slumber. “How dare you enter unannounced,” he barks. Ever since Prince Gabriel Wylie attacked him, the king does not feel safe in his home anymore. Even with several of his Kingsman, including First Commander Tocharian, standing …show more content…
“You cannot be serious,” he stammers. “What authority gives a Prince the power to summon a King, anywhere?” “Prince Gabriel’s using the treaty, which was signed by you and his father,” Michal reveals. “There’s a rare provision that allows him to call both lands to a Landsmeet.” “That provision was written in case of an invasion, and during the time when the movement was running rampant throughout our realms, they nearly ended both our reigns. It was never intended to be used when a member of his family die,” the King explains, throwing off his robe and changing into his royal attire. “They did not even call a Landsmeet when their father passed. Their subjects weren’t even told until ten days after they bury him and Robert took the throne.” He paused and stares at his brother. “Has my council found a way to relief me from attending this farce of a game their playing?” “I’m sorry, your grace. The treaty is binding. Failure to show and you forfeit a piece of your Kingdom,” Michal reminds him. “And the way the stipulation is written, it’s a land of their choosing.” “A land of their own choosing?” the king repeats in bafflement. He does not remember agreeing to those terms. He would never agree, even under threats of death, to give up parts of his Kingdoms he fought so hard to claim for not attending a

...d for you to sign and the land will be yours... no-one will bother you on your land” (pg.105). This incident leads to a long chain of corrupt acts. All community members signed, rather, finger printed the document and we’re assured “they could rely on this paper as it is the title to the land” (pg. 105). Two years passed and they returned with the document in hand, claiming the land was no longer theirs to live off of. The signed document was in truth an agreement to live on the land for a mere two years and a promise to uproot once the two years expired. In conjunction with the Labour Unions, Rigoberta’s father fights this upheaval, however the landowners bribe the judges lawyers and interpretors involved in the crooked legal battles, twisting the communities stance says the landowners offered a great deal of money to the judge through -machines/market/lawyers
In the beginning, they bring up the religious factor. Daud is upset that the Israelis came and took part of the land. However, some Jews had been there all along possibly waiting for the others to come home. Palestine was the Jews Promised Land. This is the reason that the Jews choose no other place to worship and live other then Palestine and that's why it is so important for them to gain some of that back.

The Anishnaabe Tribes of the Nishi, Mkwa, Chemong, Wagosh, Jiiman, and all others residing within the territory, do hereby cede, release and surrender to the Government of the Dominion of Canada for her Majesty the Queen and their successors, all rights, claims, titles and privileges, to the lands encompassing the treaty area hereafter defined and described.
The author notes that the King at an early age relied mostly on his mentors for knowledge and advice, notably two of which were councils of elders. The King’s entire life and on matters of decisionmaking was under the influence of these elders and from members of the court. The effects of overreliance on the need to make a decisive decision is witnessed when the moment to plan the escape, the King ponders and waste a lot of time in thinking and going over the idea of evading. The King took much time that Marie and Fersen had already begun planning for the escape long before the king had already given the consent for such an idea. Marie’s plan was underway and was schedule on May but the King’s nature of indecisiveness led to his postponing of the due date. Timothy Tackett notes down that the King does not just postpone the escape once but six times. These acts of postponing the escape finally end as he decides on the twentieth of June as the eloping day. The author yet again argues that if the family had left earlier on agreed dates their chances of a safe gateway would be higher and less risky. The King’s decision on postponing and prolonging the escape paved way for a chance that led to the conspiracy to be
These modern conflicts over land are simply a continuation of older disputes. The challenge ahead of us is to find solutions for peace. In one of Anne’s latest diary entries, she professed “in spite of everything I still believe that people are really good at heart.” (Frank 237) This is the optimist that should inspire international affairs going forward. Those words came from a teenage girl, locked away and hiding from a regime that wanted her dead. Nonetheless, she believed that humanity was essentially good. Surely this inspiration can serve as a reminder to avoid 20th century prejudices and work towards making a better, more peaceful future.

He is instructed to find an Arabian Prince and act as a mediator between his country and Arabian tribesmen who were all engaged in conflict with the Ottoman Empire at the time. While there, Lawrence finds himself becoming increasingly immersed in Arabic culture, and begins to assimilate into the society. Eventually Lawrence unifies the tribes of the dessert against the Turks promising that if they participated they would be granted sovereignty. It is not until after the Turks are pushed out that Lawrence discovers the British governments plan to split the land between themselves and the French instead of the Arabs as Lawrence had previously been assured. Having himself become so engrained in the Arabic culture Lawrence is appalled upon discovering this news and feeling like he failed the Arabic people he left following the completion of his mission. Although Lawrence had intended for the land to be given to the locals to govern, the splitting of the land shows the great presence of European imperialism. This is a constant theme throughout the movie and is still causing issues in this region of the world today even following British
The lives and prosperity of millions of people depend on peace and, in turn, peace depends on treaties - fragile documents that must do more than end wars. Negotiations and peace treaties may lead to decades of cooperation during which disputes between nations are resolved without military action and economic cost, or may prolong or even intensify the grievances which provoked conflict in the first place. In 1996, as Canada and the United States celebrated their mutual boundary as the longest undefended border in the world, Greece and Turkey nearly came to blows over a rocky island so small it scarcely had space for a flagpole.1 Both territorial questions had been raised as issues in peace treaties. The Treaty of Ghent in 1815 set the framework for the resolution of Canadian-American territorial questions. The Treaty of Sevres in 1920, between the Sultan and the victorious Allies of World War I, dismantled the remnants of the Ottoman Empire and distributed its territories. Examination of the terms and consequences of the two treaties clearly establishes that a successful treaty must provide more than the absence of war.
