Download or read book Assessing the Impact of Corruption on the Efficacy of Counterproliferation Efforts written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this thesis is to discuss the impact of corruption during the United Nations (UN) Oil-For-Food program during the 1990s and Iraq's sanctioned weapons program ultimately leading up to the Iraqi campaign from 2003-2012. It seeks to expand literature on Explosive Ordnance Disposal operations and counterproliferation efforts by exploring the acts of corruption of the Iraqi regime as well as that of member states of the United Nations. This thesis covers the significant findings from the Independent Inquiry Committee Into the United Nations Oil-For-Food Programme and the linkages between Iraq's illicit profits from the Oil-For-Food program and Iraq's continued weapons development programs analyzed from the Comprehensive Report of the Special Advisor to the DCI on Iraq's WMD. The thesis will address the significant historical developments surrounding the UN Security Council Resolutions and the imposed sanctions as a result of Iraq's aggression against Kuwait and further refusal to cooperate with the respective UN weapons inspections that ultimately led to the implementation of the Oil-For-Food program. The Oil-For-Food program allowed for significant corruption of the UN and the companies and industries within the key party states of the UN. Finally, this thesis will offer an analysis of the efficacy of UN economic sanctions as a means of deterrence in preventing countries from proliferating weapons and weapons programs. Coupled with the Volcker and Duelfer Reports, the thesis draws conclusions from primary source material including UN, United States General Accountability Office, Central Intelligence Agency, as well as US, United Kingdom, and Australian military reports, memorandums and notes from UN weapons inspectors. Secondary materials offer further insight and assist in explaining Saddam Hussein's primary goals of eroding the UN sanctions and reconstituting Iraq's sanctioned weapons programs. The thesis answers the question: How effective were UN sanctions in preventing the Iraqi regime from weapons development and acquisition? It answers the primary question by first identifying Saddam Hussein's ongoing intent to re-establish Iraq as a major power player in the Middle East with his assumption that the only way to preserve Iraq's integrity and sovereignty against Iran, Israel, and the United States was through securing offensive capabilities comparable to that of other major nation states. This thesis then highlights concerns and impacts on the EOD and counterproliferation community as a result of continuing efforts for weapons development and advancements. Finally, it provides recommendations, implications, and areas for future study.

Download or read book Thieves of State Why Corruption Threatens Global Security written by Sarah Chayes and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-01-19 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of the 2015 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest. "I can’t imagine a more important book for our time." —Sebastian Junger The world is blowing up. Every day a new blaze seems to ignite: the bloody implosion of Iraq and Syria; the East-West standoff in Ukraine; abducted schoolgirls in Nigeria. Is there some thread tying these frightening international security crises together? In a riveting account that weaves history with fast-moving reportage and insider accounts from the Afghanistan war, Sarah Chayes identifies the unexpected link: corruption. Since the late 1990s, corruption has reached such an extent that some governments resemble glorified criminal gangs, bent solely on their own enrichment. These kleptocrats drive indignant populations to extremes—ranging from revolution to militant puritanical religion. Chayes plunges readers into some of the most venal environments on earth and examines what emerges: Afghans returning to the Taliban, Egyptians overthrowing the Mubarak government (but also redesigning Al-Qaeda), and Nigerians embracing both radical evangelical Christianity and the Islamist terror group Boko Haram. In many such places, rigid moral codes are put forth as an antidote to the collapse of public integrity. The pattern, moreover, pervades history. Through deep archival research, Chayes reveals that canonical political thinkers such as John Locke and Machiavelli, as well as the great medieval Islamic statesman Nizam al-Mulk, all named corruption as a threat to the realm. In a thrilling argument connecting the Protestant Reformation to the Arab Spring, Thieves of State presents a powerful new way to understand global extremism. And it makes a compelling case that we must confront corruption, for it is a cause—not a result—of global instability.
Download or read book Iraq in the Twenty First Century written by Tareq Y. Ismael and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much has been written about the events surrounding the 2003 Anglo-American invasion of Iraq and its aftermath, especially about the intentions, principles, plans and course of action of US policy, but much less attention has been given to the consequences of US policy on Iraqi political and social development. This book provides an in-depth analysis of the impact of US policy on the social and political development of Iraq in the twenty-first century. It shows how not just the institutions of the state were destroyed in 2003, leaving the way open for sectarianism, but also the country’s cultural integrity, political coherence, and national-oriented economy. It outlines how Iraq has been economically impoverished, assessing the appalling situation which ordinary people, including women and children, have endured, not just as a result of the 2003 war, but also as a consequence of the 1991 war and the sanctions imposed in the following years. The book argues that the social, political, and cultural ruin that accompanied the Iraq war was an absolute catastrophe; that the policies which had such adverse effects were the foreseeable consequences of deliberate policy choices; and that those responsible continue to evade being made accountable.
