Iran defies sanctions with missile tests
Click HERE
The nuclear agreement US signed with Iran last year gives hope that diplomacy can be effective in fostering peace. Iran agrees to cut back on its nuclear programme in return for the lifting of sanctions.
But as this latest episode shows diplomacy is not a silver bullet. While it appears to abide by the nuclear deal, it continues with its missiles programme on the sideline. This, in spite of the sanctions imposed on it by the US.
Use this eg to evaluate on the effectiveness of resolving conflicts (esp those involving rogue nations like Iran and North Korea) using these methods:
1)diplomacy and talks
2)imposing sanctions and trade embargoes
One of the reasons for the failure is perhaps that some nations see US/UN's attempt to control their weapons programme as an infringement on their sovereignty, esp their sovereign right to defend themselves.
Qn: To what extent are international efforts effective in resolving conflicts?
