Cooperation of States Across the Globe

Global cooperation is what is needed to solve many problems faced by different states globally, among these problems are financial meltdown, climate change, and nuclear proliferation among other problems that are urgent. These challenges no single nation can confront on their own regardless of how powerful they can be. The best chance to solve these problems is if nations act in concert with each other. There are several examples through which nations can cooperate to solve problems this paper will look at some of these ways.

Trade and finance

States across the globe should come together and cooperate so that world trade and global competition to thrive. This ensures that if one country has a surplus in something they produce for instance china has surplus in rice, and another country has less of this then the two can cooperate and trade among each other so that each can benefit and solve their problems in what they lack. Strong trade establishment among states in the globe reduces the vulnerability of the state to some crisis. Countries with larger traded sectors are resilient to shocks and their ability to expand their exports rapidly leads to their quick recovery. An example of international trade cooperation is the World Trade Organization that deals with global rules that govern trade between nations. The main function of WTO is to ensure that that there is smooth flow of trade, it also ensures that the trade is predictable and free as possible.

International Organization, Law & Human Rights

Another form of cooperation among states globally is through international organizations. These organizations have members on an international scope or presence. These organizations can be international nongovernmental or intergovernmental organizations. Supranational processes ring states together in large structures and identities. Organizations such as UN have attracted membership of states in the world including powerful ones each of which have a single vote in the general assembly. It has Security Council and UN peace keeping forces that are deployed in regions where there are conflicts where their role is to monitor compliance with agreements like ceasefires, disbarment plans and fair elections rules. Such organizations like the UN help countries to overcome challenges that they cannot solve on their own. Another important organization is the International criminal court which hears cases of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity like crimes in Sudan. Through this there are laws to distinguish combatants from civilians giving each specific rights and responsibilities. International norms pertaining to human rights are becoming stronger and widely accepted (Pearson Education, 2010).

North-South Relation

This is the relationship between industrialized countries in the north and developing countries in the south. Most of the world's population is in poverty in the third world and a large number of this have no access to food, water and other necessities therefore cooperation between the south and north countries enable the countries with problems try solve them. This is through institutions like IMF that makes loans to the south conditional on economic and governmental reforms. Foreign assistance from governments in the north plays an important part in the economic development plans of poorer states in the south. The foreign aid consists of bilateral grants and loans from governments from the north .there are also disaster relief that involves cooperation from various donor governments, local governments, the UN, and private agencies (Pearson Education, 2010).
