Topic Research: Is international Humanitarian law a sufficient form of Glglobal security governance?
Why did you choose this topic? I picked this issue because I am fascinated by international humanitarian law, which deals with armed combat and attempts to balance humanity. This law did not work to stop the war but the principal distinction, proportionality and precautions worked together as a tool to limit suffering and destruction. I am interested to find out more about my research topic with my claim.
Why is it important ? In times of conflict, international humanitarian law is one of the most powerful tools available to the international community to guarantee the safety and dignity of civilians. It aims to keep a sense of credibility alive in the face of violence, with the guiding principle that even war has its limitations.
Action: In light of current global challenges, I believe international humanitarian law is insufficient for global security governance. In light of the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, no institution or government can guarantee the safety of the general population or civilian protection. This is because there is clearly a weakness in the way global security is enforced.
How will the coalition work?
Currently, International humanitarian law lays down obligations which states are bound to respect. By becoming parties to international treaties, States assume obligations and duties under international law to respect, to protect and to fulfill human rights.
Why are there certain countries who do not agree or ratify with the current treaty of international humanitarian law?
Because it is up to the states or member states if they want to comply or not.
Policy Proposal example (You can use this)
First, countries should build policy frameworks for protecting civilians in times of conflict, particularly urban combat.
Second, member states should encourage initiatives to involve non-state armed organizations in the development of policies, codes of conduct, and action plans to assist civilians.
Third, countries should increase their advocacy for civilian protection, establish responsibility for significant transgressions, and put an end to impunity.

PLEASE READ EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT THIS PAPER:
A policy position paper in global governance should structure a problem facing decision-makers or the global community. It should present the basic, relevant information known about the problem and should conclude with a recommendation. A policy paper should be based upon a clear understanding of the goal of improving a global governance outcome. In that sense, the policy paper is a type of a normative paper, as it proceeds from an argument that the status quo in a policy world (in our case, the existing—or lacking – global governance arrangement) represents a suboptimal outcome and it should be corrected. The paper proposes a course of action selected among several options. It may aspire to legitimize a new mechanism, actor, or an institution in a contested domain or relationship. Conversely, a policy paper may argue in favor of maintaining an arrangement, institution, or process against actors who are trying to modify it. The policy paper thus proposes either governance change or stability (such as maintain or reform an institution, create better regulation of global corporations, protect human rights by means of additional mechanisms, propose a coalition, create an NGO, etc.).
Any policy problem, from a decision to use or not use nuclear weapons in a regional conflict to the type of energy governance to an international city alliance may be addressed in a policy position paper. Its key elements are similar to research papers:
