The United States (US) had bad history of racial conflict between whites and blacks people for about three centuries.That happened to a black man named George Flyod in the US has very high attention for the US community and even people of around the world. This is because black people are often becomes victims of discriminatory acts by white people. White American society is difficult to assimilate black people, because the process enter of black people to the US was only as slave labor, so that the mindset of black people as second-class citizens was formed which became an attitude in social stratification in the US. This study aims to analyze the phenomenon of racial discrimination and human rights and the settlement of legal cases that occur in the US. Based on literature review and material analysis from various scientific sources, it can be concluded that the US Government as a state administrator is also still implementing discriminatory policies, even the US, which we know as the originator and main pioneer of human rights in the world, has not ratified several legal policies related to the elimination of discrimination. Racism, racial discrimination and intolerance are serious threats to the social progress of the global community.Amerika Serikat memiliki sejarah kelam mengenai konflik rasial antara orang kulit putih dan orang kulit hitam selama kurang lebih tiga abad lamanya. Kasus yang terjadi terhadap orang kulit hitam bernama George Flyod di Amerika Serikat memiliki atensi yang sangat tinggi untuk masyarakat Amerika Serikat bahkan dunia. Hal tersebut dikarenakan orang kulit hitam sering kali menjadi korban tindakan diskriminatif orang kulit putih. Masyarakat kulit putih Amerika Serikat sulit untuk mengasimilasi orang kulit hitam, dikarenakan awal kedatangan orang kulit hitam ke Amerika Serikat hanya sebagai budak pekerja, sehingga terbentuk pola pikir mengenai orang kulit hitam sebagai warga negara kelas dua yang menjadi sebuah sikap dalam stratifikasi sosial di Amerika Serikat. Penelitian ini ingin menganalisis mengenai fenomena diskriminasi ras dan Hak Asasi Manusia (HAM) serta penyelesaian kasus hukum yang terjadi di Amerika Serikat. Berdasarkan kajian literatur dan analisis materi dari berbagai sumber ilmiah dapat disimpulkan bahwa Pemerintah Amerika Serikat sebagai penyelenggara negara juga ternyata masih menerapkan kebijakan diskriminatif, bahkan Amerika Serikat yang kita kenal sebagai pencetus dan pelopor HAM di dunia belum meratifikasi beberapa kebijakan hukum terkait penghapusan diskriminasi. Rasisme, diskriminasi ras, dan intoleransi merupakan ancaman serius terhadap kemajuan sosial masyarakat global.

This article examines the problem of environmental racism in the United States through the human rights lens of the Convention on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination (CERD). The article describes the nature of environmental racism and probes the inadequacy of US environmental and civil right laws in dealing with the problem. The article assesses the situation with reference to the US Government's obligations under the CERD and reaches the conclusion that the lack of effective protection against environmental racism and the absence of effective remedies in US law demonstrate a failure by the US Government to live up to its international legal responsibilities. The article suggests that notwithstanding substantial legal and political obstacles, the US Government's 1994 ratification of the CERD provides a potentially powerful weapon in the pursuit of environmental justice.

Abstract The Palestine-Israel conflict is probably one of the most pressing problems in the Middle East. Moreover, the United States has been involved in this conflict since the 1970s. Therefore, the present research aims to learn more about the American perception of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. It was conducted using a survey that addressed Americans from different backgrounds, focusing on four variables: the American government’s position, solutions, the Israeli settlements, and Jerusalem. The research suggests a correlation between political party and the American perception of the conflict. It appears that Republicans seem to be against the withdrawal of the Israeli settlements, and they believe that the US government is not biased toward Israel. Nevertheless, Democrats tend to believe that the US government is biased in favor of Israel, and they support withdrawing the Israeli settlements. Moreover, there might be another correlation between the American perception and the source of information they use to learn about the conflict. Most of the surveyed Americans, whatever their resource of information that they use to learn about the conflict is, tend to believe that the US is biased in favor of Israel. It is crucial to know about the American perception when approaching to a solution to the conflict as the US is a mediator in this conflict, and a powerful country in the world. Especially because it has a permanent membership in the UN council. KEYWORDS: American Perception, Palestine-Israel Conflict, Jerusalem, Israeli settlements

This is so in spite of the fact that the 1989 UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) has been ratified by all nations worldwide except for one, the United States.

This chapter reviews Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and People’s Republic of China (PRC) interactions with the United States since the 1940s, and it reveals a general pattern of the United States at the very top of China’s foreign priorities. Among those few instances where China seemed to give less attention to the United States was the post-2010 period, which saw an ever more powerful China advancing at US expense. However, China’s rapid advance in economic, military, and diplomatic power has progressively alarmed the US government, which now sees China as its main international danger. Looking forward into the future, deteriorating US-China relations have enormous consequences for both countries, the Asia-Pacific region, and the world.

Subject Prospects for government intervention in the airline industry. Significance The leading Gulf airlines -- Emirates, Qatar and Etihad -- have risen rapidly over the last decade to become major players in the world air transport business. This has been at the expense of long-haul carriers in the United States, Europe and Asia-Pacific. US and European airlines are demanding action that could threaten liberalisation of the international airline industry. Impacts Neither the US government nor EU authorities are likely to unravel the network of international air transport agreements. Yet both Democratic and Republican politicians will be sensitive to demands from core constituencies. Further airline industry liberalisation and growth of Gulf based airlines may therefore be delayed.

The Cold War

The anticommunist international emerged in the early years of the Cold War. As many right-leaning movements around the world grew dissatisfied with the US government and its response to the apparently rising tide of communism, they sought common cause with each other. In the United States, activist Marvin Liebman, an erstwhile socialist turned fierce anticommunist, labored tirelessly to link the burgeoning US conservative movement to new allies abroad. Journeying through Asia, Latin America, and elsewhere, Liebman bonded with an array of right-wing groups, especially the Asian People’s Anti-Communist League and the Anti-Bolshevik Bloc of Nations. Through these connections, leading US conservatives grew convinced that homegrown forces—especially paramilitaries they called “freedom fighters”—were in the vanguard of an unfolding international revolution.

While Covid-19 is sweeping the world, how will the US government and financial institutions deal with the potential crisis of subprime mortgage will be discussed in this study. Financial market institutions and the US government should both change their strategies to deal with the crisis. In addition to controlling the spread of the epidemic, the US government should temporarily lower the minimum wage and provide a series of quantitative financial subsidies. Financial institutions should also update loan data and use better monitoring and regulation to reduce subprime risk to cope with this potential crisis.

As the year 2020 rolled in, COVID-19 headlined all the news forums. COVID-19 (Coronavirus) was a virus that crippled the world by either infecting or killing millions of people, and the United States (US) did not go unscathed. With an alarmingly high rate of infection, the US government was asking non-essential companies to temporarily close their doors and cease services. Americans were told by national and local officials to “stay safe at home”. Due to the precautions that were put in place to lower the curve of people infected with COVID- 19, Stacy Martin, CEO and Partner for Auditwerx. had begun seeing a reduction in sales and fewer clients not re-engaging with Auditwerx. for services. The decrease in revenue and delayed collection of outstanding receivables was making it increasingly difficult for Auditwerx. to stay on budget. Due to the declining incoming business, Stacy Martin was faced with the challenge of how to contend with maintaining a successful budget during this globally devastating black swan event.
