Essay Instructions: The Kurdish people in the Middle East primarily reside in four nation-states of Turkey, Iraq, Iran and Syria. The Kurdish people have suffered cultural and political strife over the years while they desperately campaign for their own sovereign state. Consisting of nearly 30 million people, the Kurds believe they deserve a Kurdish homeland. This could dissolve much of the tension in the debated area, and would provide an oppressed culture, that has endured many hardships over the years, with a state of their own. This paper explores the Iraqi Kurdish debate, explaining both sides of the argument, but ultimately showing that a sovereign Kurdish state would be the best solution.

*Above is my general opening paragraph- I need 4 specific reasons as to why Kurdistan should have its own state. If it is easier to explain that Kurdistan should NOT have its own state, that is completely fine. Either side is fine, but why explaining which ever side, the big concerns should be developed.

Here are sources: Özhan, T., and H. Ete. "A New Agenda for the Kurdish Question. " Insight Turkey 11.1 (2009): 97-114. ABI/INFORM Global, ProQuest. Web. 4 Nov. 2009.

I also found a source on Idebate.org that shows both sides of the argument.

Try to stick to proquest and ebscohost for sources. Two online sources are fine too

Here's how I thought my research paper should go:

Premise:
The proponents of sustainable development are racing around
unsuccessfully trying to generate public interest in a product that nobody seems to want. The concept of sustainable development refers to balancing economic growth with social and environmental concerns in order to ensure the continual availability of resources for the future. However, sustainable development is not only needed, it is essential to the long-term viability of society.

Research question:
Is sustainable development is still a relevant concept for international law.
Can sustainable development truly be "mutually supportive"

Method:
Need to establish leagal history and case developments in International Environmental Law to answer above question.

One idea to pursue as a suggestion for establishing sustainable development:

In a globalised environment where the notion of sovereign States is
increasingly breaking down multinational corporations have emerged as
the dominant
global power and therefore should have both the means and the influence to transform sustainable development from a lofty platitude to meaningful
implementation.


Provide some evidence/arguments as to why MNC action is more likely to achieve SD goals than action by States.


By meeting harmonized development standards (with an environmental
component?), MNCs can make sustainable development an integral part of the international community. Their cooperation will not occur, however, without motivation. MNCs can be motivated by expanding the disclosure requirements of the stock exchange requirements to include all three components of sustainability: economic prosperity, social equity and environmental protection. Fearing lost profits due to adverse publicity, MNCs would adopt sustainability standards to demonstrate compliance with the new disclosure requirements.

G.E.M. ANSCOMBE "THE CRITERIA OF A JUST WAR"

IN THESE DAYS THEAUTHORATIES CLAIM THE RIGHT TO CONTROL NOT ONLY THE POLICY OF THE NATION BUT ALSO THE ACTIONS OF EVERY INDAVIDUAL WITHIN IT; AND THEIR CLAIM HAS THE SUPPORT OF A LARGE SECTION OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY, AND OF A PECULIAR FORCE OF EMOTION. THIS SUPPORT IS GAINED, AND THIS EMOTION CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT THEY ARE "EVIL THINGS" THAT WE ARE FIGHTING AGAINST. THAT THEY ARE EVIL WE NEED HAVE NO DOUBT; YET MANY OF US STILL FEEL DISTRUST OF THESE CLAIMS AND THESE EMOTIONS LEST THEY BLIND MEN TO THEIR DUTY OF CONSIDERING CAREFULLY, BEFORE THEY ACT, THEY JUSTICE OF THE THINGS THEY PROPOSE TO DO. MEN CAN BE MOVED TO FIGHT BY BEING MADE TO HATE THE DEEDS OF THEIR ENEMIES; BUT A WAR IS NOT MADE JUST BY THE FACT THAT ONES ENEMIES DEEDS ARE HATEFUL. THEREFOR IT IS OUR DUTY TO RESIST PASSION AND TO CONSIDER CAREFULLY WHETHER ALL THE CONDITIONS OF A JUST WAR ARE SATISFIED IN THIS PRESENT WAR, LEST WE SIN AGAINST THE NATURAL LAW BY PARTICIPATING IN IT...THERE ARE SEVEN CONDITIONS WHICH MUST BE ALL FULLFILLED FOR A WAR TO BE JUST:

1. THERE MUST BE A JUST OCCASION: THAT IS, THERE MUST BE
VIOLATION OF, OR ATTACK UPPON, STRICT RIGHTS.
2. THE WAR MUST BE MADE BY A LAWFUL AUTHORITY: THAT IS,
WHEN THERE IS NO HIGHER AUTHORITY, A SOVEREIGN STATE.
3. THE WARRING STATE MUST HAVE AN UPRIGHT INTENTION IN
MAKING WAR: IT MUST NOT DECLARE WAR IN ORDER TO OBTAIN,
OR INFLICT ANYTHING UNJUST.
4. ONLY RIGHT MEANS MUST BE USED IN THE CONDUCT OF THE WAR.
5. WAR MUST BE THE ONLY POSSIBLE MEANS OF RIGHTING THE
WRONG DONE.
6. THERE MUST BE A REASONABLE RIGHT OF VICTORY.
7. THE PROBABLE GOOD MUST OUTWEIGHT THE PROBABLE EVIL
EFFECTS OF THE WAR.
