THE JORDAN'S VIEW

You, Me and a State

Now it is very evident that anything that we consider as a recognised international system has been derived from international treaties and the international customs. Thus, if we are to find out the criteria of establishing statehood under the umbrella of the existing international system, it needs to be derived from historical customary practices by state and treaties defining it.

I was given a name that I had never even thought of. A name so strange yet unique that it became a part of how I lived, part of how people saw me and a part of how I saw myself since then. And in the search for what it meant, I found people that once made valiant efforts to hold back to a version of me that I once was. A version of me as a selfless friend, a version of me that knew no limit to love, and a version of me that was nothing more than a sensitive human. The Jordan's View has been a collection of thoughts that a once self proclaimed name thought about this world and its complexities.
