The Antarctic Treaty was signed in Washington on 1 December 1959 by twelve contracting states. This treaty came into force in 1961 and had since been participated by various nations with the total number of parties to the Treaty is currently 53. There are two further treaties being concluded. Firstly is the conservation of Antartic seals which was adopted on 1 June 1972. Second is the convention for the conservation of Antartic Marine Living Resources adopted on 20 May 1980. Thus, not only the Antartic continent was being covered but also the large areas of the surrounding ocean as well. It provides for management of the living resources, the peaceful uses and freedom of scientific research. This is supported by certain Articles from the …show more content…
The are about 17 states as parties to the treaty. The moon itself as another part of the outer space had been declared as part of the common heritage of mankind. According to Article 11 of the Moon Treaty, the moon and its natural resources are the common heritage of mankind and envisages that the state parties will attempt to establish an international regime in order to govern the exploitation of its natural resources with the purpose of ensuring orderly and safe development, rational management, and the expansion of opportunities in the use of those resources. However, this treaty was also a disappointment from the angle of worldwide law since it has yet to be ratified by states that engages in self-launched manned space exploration. [ Marko, D. E. (1992).

Trade is the most common form of transferring ownership of a product. The concepts are very simple, I give you something (a good or service) and you give me something (a good or service) in return, everyone is happy. However, trade is not limited to two individuals. There are trades that happen outside national borders and we refer to that as international trading. Before a country does international trading, they do research to understand the opportunity costs and marginal costs of their production versus another countries production. Doing this we can increase profit, decrease costs and improve overall trade efficiency. Currently, there are negotiations going on between 11 countries about making a trade agreement called the Trans-Pacific

The duties and responsibilities of the fire department are most importantly responding to fires and other emergencies that involve the assistance from the department such as vehicle accidents, flooding, emergency rescue, and first aid response. When it comes to a fire departments duties and responsibilities when it comes to mutual aid agreements it is to coordinate planning, multiply the response resources available to any one jurisdiction, ensure timely arrival of aid, arrange for specialized resources, and minimize administrative conflict and litigation post-response.
...uring the age of discovery, it is that environments and ecosystems are fragile and can be easily altered with devastating results. Therefore, as humans continue to discover exciting new worlds, either in the darkest depths of the ocean or on the surface of a strange new planet, it is important that we as humans consider the ecological impacts that may result from those discoveries.
The UN was established on October 24, 1945 by 521 countries. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed on April 4, 1949 by 12 independent nations. Membership is similar in that the members are countries.

The Countries that belong to NATO are Belgium, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Hungry, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.
The Treaty of Paris had ended The Seven Years War (The French and Indian War). This treaty was signed on February 10th, 1763. During the war, Britain and France were fighting for power over North America. This war lasted from 1754 until 1763. The British and French were struggling for power over North America for almost one-hundred years. To take control of the Indian problem, King George III ordered the proclamation (the treaty) in 1763.
Treaty 6 is a contract made in 1876 between Indigenous bands, including the Cree, Ojibwa and Assiniboine and the Canadian monarchy. The agreement overviewed the ownership and uses of land in Central Alberta and Saskatchewan. The indigenous people ceded their land to the use of the monarchy, in exchange for settlements including annual payments, farming tools, land reserves, and health supplies. It can be said that the written text of Treaty 6 conveys only part of its complex meaning. This notion is explored through the ideas and stories from Sharon H. Venne, Calvin Bruneau of the Papaschase Cree, and from the treaty text itself.
Space is also governed by rules and laws much like we do on land and sea. “Treaty on Principles Governming the Activities of States in the Exploration and Use of Outer Space, including the Moon and Other Celestial Bodies,” or commonly referred to as the Outer Space Treaty was signed in 1966 by many nations, including the Unites States, and is the basis for most international space laws and policies. Some key points to take away from this treaty in relation to the space weapons debate are the following: “(1) outer space is open to all nations to explore and use; (2) nations cannot own any portion of outer space; (3) outer space will be used for peaceful purposes; (4) nations cannot place, put in orbit, or station any weapons of mass destruction in any form in outer space.” (UNOOSA) These principles and laws are also mostly reflected in our nation’s space policy, and our national security space strategy.

In my cartoon I did a vending machine with everything American Imperialism strived for and the cost for either those values, or physical elements. The vending machine is meant to relate the feeling of how American’s were almost greedy for the stuff in it. It was as simple as clicking two buttons and America got what they want. I say that because on page 280 of our books, it writes how Great Britain and America had a treaty regarding a canal. The next sentence is about how the United States got what they wanted, exclusive rights to build the canal. I personally infer from that, that there was no war or anything behind it. It was simply America getting what we wanted easily and quickly. In short, my cartoon is focused on the negative sides of
Ecological Imperialism provides new insight into the ecological expansion of Europe. The introductory nature of the topic requires more in-depth research. This book is for students, historians, teachers, and public who want an introduction into ecological history or early American history. However, the reader needs to be reminded that without technology, medical science and military power would have been impossible. Without technology, countries are left behind politically, socially, and economically. Crosby explains well that ecology played a minor role in the expansion of Europe into the Neo-Europes. However, it seems that technology played a bigger role in European expansion than any other factor. Penicillin is not a cure for bacterial infections until people had discovered its use and the only way the Europeans were able to get to the Neo-Europes is by ship.
The aim of this service paper is to analyze the functions of North Atlantic Treaty Organization and its future.

Origins for the cooperation amongst powers necessary to tackle international disputes can be traced back to the 19th century, however the formation of the League of Nations was eagerly prompted by the First World War. After the horrors in which the world observed, leaders merged together and rejoiced in the potential for a new international system. The League of Nations foremost objective was to secure peace through collective efforts of ‘peace-loving’ powers (Steans, Pettiford, & Diez, 2005, p. 31). President Woodrow Wilson was a lead proponent in the creation of such a body, suggesting it- within his message on the Conditions of Peace- as a means of ‘affording mutual guarantees of political independence and territorial integrity to great and small states alike’ (Wilson, 1918). The following year a detailed scheme was presented at the Versailles Peace Conference and the league was swiftly established with the addition of a permanent secretariat in Geneva. (Catterall, 1999, p. 50). The League was very much considered the ‘most daring and innovative proposal’ (Wilkinson, 2007, p. 85)
