The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a blueprint for sustainable global development for equitable growth and prosperity between countries. One indicator of equitable growth is the achievement of adequate access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene and stopping open defecation (BABS) activities. But the difficulty of access to clean water sources and good sanitation facilities is still an urgent problem in India. More than 50% of the water has been polluted and cannot be consumed. The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates that 97 million Indians do not have access to clean water and proper sanitation. This is caused by various factors, among others, first the habits of the people (culture) who conduct BABS activities. Second, lack of education and human awareness of environmental cleanliness. And the third is the lack of public toilet facilities provided by the government. These problems have a major impact on the health of local communities such as diarrhea and pneumonia. Efforts by the Indian government to solve these problems have yet to produce a significant impact. So that the United Nations (UN) opened an open working group to formulate proposals related to global development planning on clean water and sanitation supported by UNICEF through the WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) Program. The implementation of this program is aimed at overcoming the impact of problems that give special focus to children. This research will further examine the role of UNICEF in overcoming sanitation problems in India through the WASH Program. The method used in this study uses qualitative methods to explain systematically and factually. This study uses the theory of the Role of International Organizations. This theory is used to explain and emphasize UNICEF in carrying out its roles based on the values set by international organizations.

A major problem with this research is the arrival of refugee in Indonesia as a human security issue because this issue stems from the non-traditional concept of security that attracts international relations researchers, because of the presence of refugee from abroad without any regulation and explaining that refugees can threaten the stability of regional security. The arrival of refugees has implications on economic, social, environmental, and health problems for the host country. There was an immense amount of debate about the possibility of states adopting extraterritorial approaches to asylum processing and refugee protection, and about such policies’ compatibility with international refugee and human rights law. De-territorialize refugee protection and of UNHCR’s strategy in the evolving consultations. The issues of who, why, and how to protect refugees pose a series of normative challenges that can only be addressed by recognizing the dynamic nature of refugee protection today. Our answers have implications for institutional design. On one hand, this is a way of potentially making refugee protection sustainable in the long run. Some argue, however, that refugees acquire rights over time, which necessitates some kind of pathway to naturalization and ultimately citizenship. The most basic and significant norm of the international refugee regime emerges from the decision to allow states to take direct control of the process of refugee determination and to establish a legal framework permitting the screening of refugee applicants on a variety of national interest grounds. In this way, the refugee regime reproduces the state as the normal form of political organization, and the actor empowered to make life and death decisions over the human population. This research methodology is qualitative with literature study methods and case studies with a single instrument using participant observation techniques and in-depth interviews.

The Asian region is undergoing significant changes, along with the rise of China as a new power since Deng Xiaoping's leadership. The increasing power of China has caused unrest not only for countries in the Asian region, but also for other Western countries, such as the United States. Increasing China's power has the potential to destabilize the region. One of the countries experiencing unrest with the disruption of regional stability due to China's increasing power is India. In order to keep India from being affected by the regional instability, India is promoting improved relations with its neighboring countries and identifying potential non-traditional partners by issuing the Act East Policy. With Act East Policy, India seeks to improve relations with one of its potential trading partners, namely South Korea. This research is then aimed at analyzing the factors that led India to choose South Korea as the target of the Act East Policy from 2014 to 2019. This research will be analyzed using a qualitative explanative method and using a determinant thinking base of foreign policy and strategic environment. Based on the author's analysis, the factors that underlie India choosing South Korea can be divided into internal factors, namely the change of leaders in India and Indian economic conditions, and external factors, namely bilateral relations between the two countries.
