Abstract

This research explains the issue of opposing human rights carried out by the people of Afghanistan against boys through the bacha bazi culture. The conservative culture in Afghanistan led to a separation between men and women, thus bacha bazi serves to be a means of fulfilling the sexual needs of the male community in Afghanistan. “Women are for children, boys are for pleasure” is a famous sentence that explains the culture of bacha bazi for the people of Afghanistan. Although very normal, bacha bazi is taboo to talk about so that the practice is done in secret. The Taliban regime in 1996-2001 was able to abolish the bacha bazi culture, but with the fall of the regime, this culture is increasingly spreading. Domestic and international organizations, as well as foreign troops in Afghanistan, have sought to eradicate the culture, but have encountered difficulties. So this research was conducted to answer how the bacha bazi culture can take place after the Taliban government. The research methodology is an explanative qualitative method through data collection techniques with a literature study. The results of this study are proof that cultural relativity keeps this culture going on in Afghanistan despite violating human rights.

This digital campaign enables the Swedish government to project Swedish values and reach various communities in Uganda through various media both online and offline as well as through champions embraced by the Swedish government to build awareness of the important role of midwives in increasing fulfillment of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) which is one of the six external objectives of Swedish feminist foreign policy. This study intends to explain how the Midwives4all Campaign influences efforts to fulfill women's rights in Uganda. This study will be using qualitative research methods with process-tracing data analysis methods and uses the concept of feminist foreign policy and liberal feminism as the basis for analysis in this paper.

UNESCO has been recommending the “UNESCO Convention on the Protection of the Underwater Cultural Heritage” or commonly referred to as the 2001 UNESCO Convention as a conservation procedure for Underwater Cultural Heritage (UCH) which prioritizes the protection of historical, cultural and scientific values. Through several conferences and discussions, UNESCO has always encouraged countries that have strategic sea areas to immediately ratify by considering the potential underwater relics in its territories. The Republic of Indonesia, as the biggest archipelagic country nowadays has not ratified the convention. Even though, this research argues that Indonesia does not have strong regulations and always experiences obstacles in securing Underwater Cultural Heritage these days. This research is trying to seek and solve the research question with all the existing vulnerabilities, why until now Indonesia has not ratified the 2001 UNESCO Convention. This research will identify the background factors that make Indonesia reluctant and have not taken action to ratify the convention. For the tools analyzing in this case study, this research will use Decision Making Approach by Graham T. Allison, with 2 approach models namely Rational Actor Model and Organizational Model. This study found that rational factors were the reason for Indonesia not to ratify the 2001 UNESCO Convention.

It is widely known that Canada is home to indigenous communities that consisted of inuit, metis and first nations people. The Canadian government also regulate the lives of canada’s indigenous communities through the Indian Act.

This study resulted in the founding of influencing factors divided into internal and external factors. Dominant party, Canada's identity as a multicultural country, and a protest by idle no more movement were the factors that categorized as the internal factors. Meanwhile, pressures from international organizations, the changed stances of the countries that originally share the same views as Canada, pressures from other countries regarding Canada's stance on UNDRIP, and also the global trend on human rights enforcement were the external factors.

Abstract

The South China Sea (SCS) issue is a contest of territorial disputes between disputed countries. The Philippines, as one of the countries with an interest in the region, has seen a change in the direction of its foreign policy in dealing with the issue. The current President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, changed the direction of the Philippines' foreign policy toward China from previously confrontational, to cooperative with China. In this study, these foreign policy changes were analyzed by internal and external factors that made the Philippines have only two (2) options, to submit or to oppose. The concept used in this study is to use the concept of political realism initiated by Thucydides that a strong inclined party can act whatever they want and the weak-leaning party will suffer consequences for the party that tends to be strong and also use internal and external concepts. The type of research used is by qualitative explanative methods with data collection techniques using primary data and secondary data. The results of the study obtained are that there are internal factors such as Rodrigo Duterte's role as President, interest groups, and the Philippine Senate and external factors such as historical claims of the South China Sea region and the state of the international system affecting Philippine foreign policy. Other studies have also shown that there is a link between this change in Philippine foreign policy and the concept of political realism.

These ideas influence ESM preferences and the pathways to achieve them.
