Assignment: Together We Stand, Divided We Fall

The United Nations (UN) is an intergovernmental organization that was tasked to maintain international peace and security, develop friendly relations among nations, achieve international co-operation and be a center for harmonizing the actions of nations. The headquarters of the UN is in Manhattan, New York City, and is subject to extraterritoriality. Further main offices are situated in Geneva, Nairobi, and Vienna. The organization is financed by assessed and voluntary contributions from its member states. Its objectives include maintaining international peace and security, protecting human rights, delivering humanitarian aid, promoting sustainable development and upholding international law.

Since our country was key to the establishing the UN at the end of World War II with the aim of preventing future wars, has their organization impacted the way we formulated and shape our legal thinking? Do we lead by example when we take care of the homeless, reduce extreme poverty through the use of family assistance programs, or do we use public law to enforce poorly structure immigration policies?

Immigration is the result of folks moving from one place to another with the intentions of settling, permanently or temporarily in a new location. Because of wars, natural disasters, civil disturbances, and various forms of political and religious forms of persecution, human migration has become a worldwide challenge to both the citizen and non-citizen alike of each sovereign state. Because of globalization we have become increasing dependent on the process of interaction and integration with folks and their companies on a worldwide scale.

In your case study how can we utilize public law, both domestically and internationally to help reduce the negative impact of unlawful immigration while at the same enhance the value of legitimate folks entering our country?
