Article Evaluation: "Nuclear Proliferation"

-Needs citations- must be choosy with info

-some factual inaccuracy- out of date- may not be able to stand alone

-More recent happenings- some discussed in class

-Distractedly out dated image and lack of other images

-Language was a little distracting

-North Korea section- has not been updated (since 2013) but useful info here

-Links are useful- dates matter- many are functioning

Topic Ideas:
-Jihad Cool- Terrorism stub article-Jihad Cool - I could look elaborate on the influence it has on the youth, techniques utilized by the campaign, and how to combat this propaganda.

* - Independent Asylum Commission - Human Rights Stub Article- Independent Asylum Commission- I could inform about their platform, members, what they stand for, what they have accomplished (if anything), and what their influence was.*

- First Globalization- Globalization Stub Article- First globalization- I could try to add information about what happened in the wave or subsequent effects it had, why it started and who/ what was involved.

- Post-Industrial Economy- Globalization Stub Article- Post-industrial economy- There is potential to add its effects, examples of this economy, what it means in the U.S, where its going.

- There is no article covering Virtual Trafficking? Perhaps I could create one? I could add what it is, cases of virtual trafficking, preventative measures, and statistics regarding its happening.

Independent Asylum Commission
''The Independent Asylum Commission was an organization which attempted to "conduct a truly independent review of the UK asylum system from beginning to end." The Commission was independent of the UK government and the refugee sector, and was funded entirely by charitable trusts . It published its initial findings in March 2008 and then three full reports over summer 2008 . The initial report said that the UK's treatment of asylum seekers falls "seriously below" the standards of a civilised society. The Border and Immigration Agency rejected the report, claiming it operates a "firm but humane" system''.

Independent Asylum Commission
The Independent Asylum Commission was an organization which attempted to "conduct a truly independent review of the UK asylum system from beginning to end." The commission was made up of groups of citizens from local churches, mosques, trade union branches, schools, and other various community groups from the London Citizens and Birmingham Citizens ''. The Commission was independent of the UK government and the refugee sector, and was funded entirely by charitable trusts . ''It sought to examine key stages of the asylum process such as the access to the asylum through its determination process, the appeals process, treatment of vulnerable groups, and material support and accommodation. The commission held public hearings throughout the UK between January and November of 2007. It published its initial findings in March 2008 and then three full reports over summer 2008 ''. The initial report said that the UK's treatment of asylum seekers falls "seriously below" the standards of a civilized society. The Border and Immigration Agency rejected the report, claiming it operates a "firm but humane" system''.

Background
The United Kingdom has a long history of providing asylum. The 1951 Refugee Convention states that a refugee is "owing to well-founded fear of being persecuted for reasons of race, religion, nationality, membership of a particular social group or political opinion, is outside the country of his nationality and is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to avail himself of the protection of that country; or who, not having a nationality and being outside the country of his former habitual residence as a result of such events, is unable or, owing to such fear, is unwilling to return to it ."

The commission, made up of groups of citizens, believed that the UK had a duty to provide adequate sanctuary for these defined refugees. It was created with the intent "to take a fresh and impartial look at the system and make credible recommendations for reform. " The commissioners on the board included asylum experts and a former immigration judge. After 18 months, January 2007-March 2008, the Commission published their initial findings report, followed by two subsequent reports.
