INDONESIA-SINGAPORE-MALAYSIA-AVIATION-AIRASIA 
The Flight Recorders recovered from the Java Sea 

Analysis of the recovered Air Asia’s recorders revealed that a co-pilot, Remi Plesel was in control when the stall warning sounded.

The stall warning - an automated voice that repeats the words "stall, stall" - had sounded in the cockpit.

The less experienced co-pilot had 6000 flying hours to his credit against that of Captain Iriyanto with 20,000.


The analysis further revealed that the more experienced Iriyanto took over the control of the plane and began a steep climb from 32,000 ft to 37,400 ft obviously to save the plane from the rock and rolls of the storm.

"In many cases, the engine is not strong enough to fly in this high angle," said Mardjono Siswosuwarno, from the National Transport Safety Committee.

Flight QZ8501 crashed into the Java Sea on 28 December half way to its journey from Indonesia to Singapore with 162 passengers on board.
72 bodies have been recovered so far.

Other factors that might have caused the crash such as icing on the plane's air speed indicators are being investigated. Report would be released later in the year.

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).
