Case study 1

Nepotism is sports is and has been a prevalent yet less talked about practice . We have heard about
multiple protests, movements and petitions against this in bollywood but for some reason it gets
overlooked in sports. For years, our country has been suffering in the world of sports Because our own
people have been depriving our nation from identifying new talent. The selectors , coaches and top level
officials have been giving preference to their known players instead of letting new and independent
players rise to the top. While this might not be successful in popular sports which are watched by a lot
of people worldwide it is certainly dominant in newer and less popular sports . Now that I have been
given the opportunity to change this pre-existing evil, it puts me in quite a pickle as my responsibility is
not only to right the wrong but to make sure that the players who have made the team of the basis of
merit are not negatively affected by this. To accomplish this, neither of the obvious options of
maintaining the status quo or to publically oppose the business house seems viable, therefore , by
carefully assessing the situation, the appropriate alternative would be to try and kill both the birds with
one stone. As we all know that less popular sports like this one doesn’t attract many viewers but that
doesn’t mean the official paperwork is any difference. For any team to be made, the district or state
association has to conduct an open trial for players to come and present themselves. Since our player
pool is not finalised yet, hosting one as soon as possible will help keep everything out in the open as
somebody might be able to get a few names in the list in the dark but once it’s all out in the open, they
won’t risk putting much weight behind it as they will know they can be exposed. After this significantly
reduces the pressure, my next step would be to contact the association and inform them about the
situation while keeping the identities anonymous so as to give the message that someone’s out to get
them but not instigate the business houses enough to cut the funding , handling this with gentle care is
of utmost importance as it’s my duty to protect the sport I love and save it from being tainted by such
demons and cater to the young players who are unaware of the dirty politics . While all of this happens,
in the end, I hold the decision in my hand and I shall do everything in my power to select players solely
on the basis of merit but if it comes to it and I have to make a decision where I have to sacrifice a spot or
two for the other worthy members of the team to be able to play the tournament, It will leave me no
other option than to give in to the business house’s demands . This being said, immediately after the
end of the tournament , by complaining through the official channel and with the help of social media ,
exposing the people responsible for this chaos and making sure they pay for what they have done is
imperative and I will make it my life’s mission to do so.

Case study 2

the global refugee population has approximately doubled since 2011, with projected
resettlement needs increasing by nearly 80 percent. Yet over this same period, the number of
individuals who have been resettled shrunk by more than half. Numbers remain low so far in
2021, and it is all but assured that only a tiny share of the nearly 1.5 million refugees estimated
to need resettlement in 2022 will be resettled. the UN High Commission for Refugees (UNHCR),
which is responsible for submitting the vast majority of resettlement referrals, is frequently
hamstrung by limited funding and challenging political dynamics in countries of asylum and
resettlement. Increased politicization of immigration in major immigrant-destination countries
over the last decade has also hampered resettlement programs. Our case is somewhat similar
as the reason for refusal of accommodation is a political decision taken by the bloc. Over the
past several decades, 142 states have signed on to both the 1951 Refugee Convention and the
1967 protocol. The treaty defines what refugees are -- those who is seeking refuge from
persecution. It also gives them a very important right -- the right to not be sent back home into
harm's way, except under extreme circumstances. This has made it clear that it’s not just an
option but a country’s obligation to accept and treat the Refugees like other foreign nationals
and if possible then as nationals too. under European Union Law “there is a positive obligation
to provide accommodation and decent material conditions to
impoverished asylum seekers. According to article 33 of the previously mentioned Convention
and protocol, Before the state can turn refugees or asylum seekers away,
they must make arrangements for the refugee in another country.
“International human rights law strengthens… the protection of
norms… such as for instance, the absolute prohibition of refoulement to
situations where there is a real risk of torture or inhuman or degrading
treatment or punishment.” 9
Failing to do so violates international law
and can subject the country to legal action. Thus as the an officer in charge in a humanitarian
organisation , it is within my power and is my moral obligation to cite the international law to the
involved parties and to fulfil the promise that we made in the mid 1900s to make this world a
better place by giving shelter and support to the oppressed and those in distress. As an
independent organisation, we lack the power to enforce any decision on a country but
international organisations like the United Nations High commission for refugees have the
resources and the measure to argue the refusal and to submit for Refugees’ immediate
settlement. While the designated bodies work on the paper, as a financially stable organisation
we need to provide enough financial assistance to the country to atleast give shelter to the
refugees in the meantime. Resorting to legal action might seem troublesome for a while but in
the longer run it’s the most effective way to ensure that countries abide by the international
treaty . The impact of media cannot be underestimated as the media has played a very
important role in international humanitarian cases recently such as those of Palestine or
Lebanon. There’s this study that examines the effects of media coverage on the
Rohingya refugee crisis based on articles from two liberal, elite newspaper
sources, The New York Times and The Guardian between 2010 and 2020. The
study reveals that the attempts of international pressure to stop the crisis have
increased through media coverage and political pressures. Raising awareness
about this is pivotal as every country wants to avoid negative publicity and therefore media can
affect the outcome of the situation majorly.
