Ethical Dilemmas In Nicaragua
The court investigates the allegations of Nicaragua that the mining on the Nicaraguan waters was because of the U.S. military personnel of the nationality of Latin American countries in the pay of the U.S. After identifying the facts, the court establishes that in late 1983 the president of the U.S. authorized their government agency to dig mines in the Nicaraguan ports. In early 1984, mines were close to the ports of El Buff, in Nicaraguan internal waters or in its territorial sea, by people following the instructions from that agency. The U.S. agents were supporting and supervising the minning and they did not say anything before or after about the laying of the mines. That personal and material injury was caused by the explosion of the mines, which also created risks causing a rise in marine insurance rates. The court says that it is impossible to say that a ruling on the alleged breach of the Charter by the U.S. wouldn’t affect El Salvador. …show more content…

    The United States had been involved with Nicaragua since 1850. They had been walking over them and the Nicaraguans didn’t seem to respond. In 1907 U.S. war ships took control of the Fonseca Gulf. In 1909, the Nicaraguan Nationalist Government finally decided to take a stand against the control. The government shot two of the U.S. mercenaries, but it only made matters worse for them. The United States decided to get more involved in Nicaraguan affairs, and in 1910 they forced a “puppet government” upon Nicaragua. After many years of this, Nicaragua became dependent on the United States. For example, in 1912 the Nicaraguan President requested U.S. military assistance to help control a civil war. The United States built a canal across Nicaraguan territory, leased the Great and Little Corn Islands, and established a naval base in the Gulf of Fonseca in exchange for three million dollars. In 1914 the Bryan-Chamorro Treaty was signed, and it evokes “anti-North American sentiment and guerrilla warfare in Nicaragua, and elicit[ed] protest from other Central American countries.” Augusto…

At the age of 10, my mother had to wake up at the crack of dawn everyday to pick up the fallen fruits from trees, go into the city and try to sell them to tourists in hopes of making enough money so that she and her brothers could eat that day. She was forced to become the adult of the family when she should have been in school like the other kids her age. She was deprived of the one thing that meant everything to her, a chance at an education.…

    Let me describe Nicaragua. Tall, silver buildings , people scurrying on the sidewalk, giant green palm trees, tropical breezes, and even a cool gust on a hot hot summer day. Nicaragua is the place to be. But that’s only what the capital is like. The rest is poor cities. Nicaragua’s main oceans are the Pacific Ocean and the Caribbean Sea, and they have a lake named after them. Since its such a big country, it has three climates. The Pacific Region, Central Highlands, and the Caribbean Region, which I’ll explain later. “Violence has been Nicaragua’s most important export to the world.” -Ronald Reagan, or, the Spanish version, which Nicaraguans would be able to read,”La violencia ha sido la exportación más importante de Nicaragua al mundo” -Ronald Reagan (no date shown).

    The line sounded rehearsed, as if he had spoken these words multiple times a day for many years. His glossy brown eyes penetrated my startled blue ones for as long as I let them until I turned away. His dirtied innocent face was one that came straight out of a UNICEF commercial, the sort that caught you off guard during a commercial break of your favorite TV show. Wistful faces of impoverished children flick before your eyes as a concerned voice insists that if you donate your unused pocket change every month, you could support the life of this poor boy.…

    The injustice of slavery and degrading of human life has long been in existence in the world. Slavery in the western hemisphere has been prevalent, especially in Cuba. The Spanish-American war originated with the Cuban struggle for independence from the Spanish empire which began in February 1895. In this paper I will examine if the United States intervention in freeing the Cuban people was for humanitarian reasons or like Michael Walzer suggests, that the United States would never send their troops into other states in order to only save lives. I will agree and reference to Walzer and his writing on humanitarian intervention, to prove that there are never real cases of nations providing purely humanitarian intervention.…

    The Iran-Contra scandal had a big effect on the United States but it had a huge effect on Nicaragua. Through out 1985-86, the Reagan administration was selling weapons to Iran illegally in order to encourage Iran to free hostages in the Middle East. Meanwhile, the Reagan administration wanted to support the Contras in Nicaragua, a rebel group fighting to overthrow the Sandinista government. The administration decided to use the money made from selling arms to Iran, and had it sent to the Contras without passing through the United States. (Walsh, p2.) In this paper, I am going to provide the background of the situation. I will explain how the money from the missile sales was used to support the Contras. I will also tell how everything became public, the end of United States support for the Contras and about then investigations and public hearings in the United States. But finally this paper is about the significance, or impact, of the Iran-Contra affair.…
