Fundamental Rights

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Fundamental Rights

In the textbook, Straus defines human rights as a “set of rights afforded to individuals on the basis of being human, i.e., irrespective of national citizenship, gender, ethnicity, or other traits” (1). We see, however, that despite the international system of defining and guaranteeing human rights known as the human rights regime, not every individual or government has the same concept of human rights. For this assignment, you will explore national and international policy responses to a human rights issue.

Based on Amnesty InternationalLinks to an external site., Human Rights WatchLinks to an external site., the UN human rights-related organizations (UNHCRLinks to an external site., United Nations Office of the High Commissioner for Human RightsLinks to an external site.), or another source that you verify with your instructor, choose a human rights policy issue.

Fundamental Rights

Define the issue as a human rights issue according to concepts of human rights. Describe its causes, implications, and locations. Use the following questions to help you frame your explanation:

In what ways has a policy caused human rights violations or been enacted because of human rights violations?

Can you recognize conflicts around human rights policy that stem from divergent understandings of human rights, within a country, between countries, or between a country and an intergovernmental or non-governmental organization?

Consider the history, religion, and culture of the country where the issue is taking place in your examination of the human rights policy issue.

Identify the stakeholders and explain how this issue has an impact on them. Provide references to support the information.

Fundamental Rights

Describe recent and current efforts aimed at solving the human rights issue, including efforts by NGOs, national governments, and IGOs. Provide supporting references.

Based on your analysis of the human rights issue and the policies you have described, provide your opinion on which policy would be appropriate. This can be one of the policies already in place or your suggestion. Support your opinion with references to appropriate resources.

Use four (two government and two peer-reviewed, scholarly) sources to support your writing. Choose sources that are credible, relevant, and appropriate. Cite each source listed on your source page at least one time within your assignment. For help with research, writing, and citation, access the library or review library guides. For this assignment, government resources may include resources from an NGO. Use APA referencing style.

Public Administration Ethics

By AssignmentHelp Blog

Public Administration Ethics

Ethical Challenges in the City Manager/City Councilmember Relationship

These scenarios were developed by Frank Benest, senior advisor to the International City/County Management Association,and delivered to a meeting of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics Public Sector Roundtable April 20, 2012. Select one (1) of the three scenarios.

Scenario 1

A developer is proposing a major commercial development with of lots of name recognition. The mayor suggests that the council appoint her and another councilmember to a committee in order to negotiate a package of community benefits as part of the entitlement process. The city manager and city attorney are upset that staff have not been designated as the negotiators so the mayor suggests to the council that the manager, attorney and community development director attend the meetings with the developer, but the mayor and the other councilmember will take the lead.

In the negotiations, both councilmembers push similar community benefits, but the mayor and councilmember clearly have a few different priorities. The negotiations seem to drag on, but finally the developer puts together a package of benefits generally supported by the two councilmembers. At the direction of the council negotiating committee, the city manager then schedules the project and the community benefits package for an upcoming council agenda.

Public Administration Ethics

Just prior to the public hearing in front of the council, the mayor goes privately to the developer and tells him that the mayor won’t the support the project unless the developer adds to the package a pedestrian and bike trail segment that completes the community’s neighborhood trails program. The developer agrees to fund the trails segment, and the mayor indicates that she will publicly support the project at the hearing.

Scenario 2

A councilmember is actively supported by open space advocates in the region. The councilmember approaches a baylands protection, non-profit advocacy group and proposes a baylands public education program for children that could be funded by the city government and operated by the agency. After meeting with the president and executive director of the non-profit, the councilmember approaches the city’s sustainability coordinator and encourages the staff person to develop a proposal to fund the project.

The sustainability coordinator refers the councilmember to the city manager. The councilmember then meets with the city manager and strongly recommends that she schedule the proposal for council consideration. Given the ongoing fiscal challenges of the city, the manager does not feel that the proposal is a priority and suggests that the councilmember approach the mayor to see if the mayor will support the agenda item. The councilmember is upset and feels that the manager is a roadblock.

Public Administration Ethics

Scenario 3

The city manager has an excellent relationship with one of the councilmembers and gets a lot of political support from him regarding her recommendations. The councilmember makes time to meet every week with the manager and gets updated on all important city matters, including upcoming council agenda items. The manager provides more information to this particular councilmember than the other councilmembers. Based on their strong relationship, the councilmember discusses with the city manager strategy to move initiatives forward and to create majority support on the council for specific actions.

Assignment Specifics:

Answer both A and B.

Identify the ethical dilemma (from your selected scenario) and explain the dilemma. Provide no less than two (2) actions that each identified public administrator may take. Explain.

Using Practices to Promote the ASPA Code of Ethics (in this assignment folder) from the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), select one (1) of the eight (8) standards. Explain how your selected standard relates to your selected scenario. Use APA referencing style.

Critical Incident Plan Development

By Assignment Expert Blog

Critical Incident Plan Development

Goal: Develop a Critical Incident Plan Pan

Critical Incident: I Had Them Right Where I Wanted Them . . . I Thought Stan was excited. It was his chance to show his CEO that he could be counted on for the important jobs. Stan was going to meet with an executive team that had flown in from Tokyo, Japan.

This executive team represented a large computer company that could place enough orders to make up a quarter of Stan’s company’s current sales of microchips. Stan was supposed to close the deal to secure a commitment from this company. When Stan entered the room where the Japanese executives waited, he didn’t waste any time heading for his computer to start what he thought was his finest PowerPoint presentation ever. Before he began to speak, each executive handed Stan a business card held in both hands with a slight bow.

Stan took out three of his own cards and handed them to one of the executives while keeping one hand on his computer. During the presentation, Stan was getting a good vibe from the executives as they continuously nodded their heads in agreement with what Stan was presenting about the quality and state of the art of the technology his company could offer them. At the end of the presentation the executives asked Stan if he would like to join them for drinks, but Stan, who didn’t have a high level of tolerance for alcohol, declined their offer. They bowed as Stan left, and he felt like he had just earned the respect of three international businessmen.

Stan strutted through the office for the rest of the day, confident that he had just secured one of his company’s largest orders. Later that day his boss called him in and asked him to sit down. Stan waited with anticipation and a slight curiosity as he noticed the vein on his boss’s head throbbing. Stan’s boss cleared his throat and surprised Stan with the next words that came out of his mouth. “Stan, I don’t know what happened during your meeting with the Tokyo executive team, but all deals are off. They are flying back to Japan tonight and said that they would look for another supplier.”

Critical Incident Plan Development

CRITICAL INCIDENT DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

1. Did Stan do anything wrong before his presentation?

2. Did Stan make inappropriate assumptions about the nonverbal behavior of the Japanese executives?

3. Is there anything that Stan or his company can do to rectify the situation?

Business Finance Research Assignment

By Assignment Expert Blog

Business Finance Research Assignment

You are a legal assistant for the attorney of the ABCD company. For this assignment you must conduct research and find three (3) court opinions (i.e. cases that have been previously decided by the court precedent (i.e. have similar facts and issues of law) to the case below. You must provide the case title and citation of each of the three (3) cases you find. You can use Google Scholar (https://scholar.google.com/) or other resources from the school library in order to conduct your research. In addition, you must utilize the format provided below in order to brief (summarize) each of the cases that you list for this assignment.

The Church of Narnia vs. ABCD Company: Six months ago, the CEO for ABCD Company sent a letter to the Bishop for the Church of Narnia pledging a $5,000,000.00 donation to the Church. Upon receipt of this news, the bishop contacted ABCD’s CEO who re-assured the bishop that the Church would be receiving a check for this amount within the ensuing four to six weeks. The bishop, who for several years badly wanted to expand the Church in order to increase its congregation, immediately hired an architect and paid him $200,000.00 to design the new ambitious project. The bishop was in love with the architect’s design, so he quickly hired a general contractor for $1,000,000.00 to start the building process. In addition to the $1,000,000.00 for the labor, the bishop paid another 3,000,000.00 for the tools and materials needed for the project. On week five after receiving the letter and first speaking to ABCD’s CEO on the phone, the bishop called ABCD because he was nervous about the fact that he had not received the check and he had already incurred such significant expenses. Note that the only reason the bishop engaged in this ambitious construction project was because of the extra money he was counting on getting from ABCD since the Church’s structure did not need it to continue its regular operations. The CEO at that point told the bishop that soon after committing to donate the money, ABCD’s finances started going terribly wrong and as such at this point, they were not able to make a donation to the church. The bishop is now demanding that ABCD still true to its word and give the church the donation.
