Preserve and Protect

Mesmerized by the internal need to preserve the innocence in the world around him, Holden ventures off on a life-changing journey to grasp the unattainable, the need to prevent children from maturing. With the unfortunate past events in his life guiding the way, Holden embarks on a mission to prove to the world that he can make his inflated dream a reality by protecting the youth from the impurities of adulthood. Being the catcher in the rye is more than just a job that Holden wants; it is the occupation he needs in his life to play his part.

Due to this realization, the Forest Preserve Act was passed in 1882 which legislated that logging would be banned on all state-owned land. In 1892, a bill establishing the Adirondack Forest Preserve as a state park passed the legislature, indicated by a blue line that encompassed the parts of the region where state acquisition of private in-holdings was to be concentrated.

Introduction The responsibility to protect human rights has seen extensive and exhaustive debate throughout history. Since the Treaty of Westphalia in 1648, the tension between state sovereignty and international intervention in pursuit of human rights protection has been contested. Over three centuries later, and the United Nations Responsibility to Protect (R2P) doctrine has codified human rights protection in a global political commitment of the highest order.

Of course if it was not obligatory, some atrocities would go unstopped – in cases when states do not have geopolitical or economic interests at stake, perhaps. But states would intervene sometimes, and would be able to do so legally. I think the codification of a series of qualifications allowing for humanitarian intervention would both limit the spurious uses of the doctrine and would allow the real uses of humanitarian intervention to occur legally. (d) what is the “responsibility to…

Purpose.

Background.

Denali National Park is best known for its highest peak, Denali, or “the high one”, that reaches 20,320 feet tall.
