Air Asia Trunk Containing Most of the Dead Bodies is Found

By


The sequence of recovery of the parts of the ill-fated AirAsia Flight QZ8501 could be said to be consistent and orderly. From what started with the finding of oil sleek, through the recovery of minute objects such as brief cases, cabins and few of the dead bodies to the recovery of the flight recorder and the black boxes; and finally, the finding of the fuselage, the main body part of the plane.


Singapore's Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen posted pictures taken by a Singaporean search robot on his Facebook page. He said the words painted on the side of the wreckage confirmed the plane was flight QZ8501. Visible in the paintings is the slogan of the Airline: “Now everyone can fly.”

The head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency, Bambang Soelistyo, confirmed the report but said that they were waiting for confirmation. 

The cockpit voice recorder (CVR) from AirAsia flight QZ8501 is displayed by officials upon its arrival in Pangkalan Bun on January 13, 2015. 
The "black box" has been located and investigators are analysing its data to find out what brought the plane down

Official co-ordinating the search, SB Supriyadi, said raising the fuselage would be a tricky operation and authorities would have to determine the best course of action.

"If it is not too heavy, we may lift the whole piece and evacuate the victims," said Mr Supriyadi.

"If it's too heavy, we may then swim into the fuselage and pull out the bodies one by one before lifting it."

The AirAsia Flight QZ8501 crashed into Java sea 28 December half way into its two hours journey from the Indonesian city of Surabaya to Singapore with 162 persons on board.

LIMITATIONS OF INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONS: A FOCUS ON THE UNITED NATIONS ORGANIZATIONS

By
Introduction International relations which was generally seen as relations among nations and entities in the international arena begets international organizations. An international organization is a union of actors in the international arena, formed to perform specified functions and/or solve identified problems for the members and/or non members. The concept of an international organization can also be seen on the one hand as a logical progression in the evolution of political entities from the basic family or tribal grouping of pre- and early historic times to the feudal arrangements of early Europe which emerged following Peace of Westaphalia in 1648 (Imber 1984). A second perspective on international organization is that as being something antithetical to the state in effect an external entity which may subsume or destroy the state. This latter view is held by many chauvinists and protectionists who find the economic, political and cultural mongrelization which they claim...
