Nicomachean Ethics In book 8 of the Nicomachean Ethics, Aristotle attempts to explore the essence and relevance of friendship. He begins by describing the importance of friendship, defining it as a virtue and a necessity of life. According to Aristotle, no one can choose to live without friends, even after having all other possessions in life (Aristotle, 2006). He describes how there is no relevance of justice among friends even though just people they need friendship; hence, true friendship can be described as justice in the fullest sense. According to Aristotle, there are different varieties of friendship as associated with pleasant, good, and convenience. Other than for an individual’s good people can be liked for their usefulness or for the pleasure they can come with. He also stresses on the fact that in cases where individuals are only liked for the pleasure or convenience that they bring, they are hardly loved for who they are in their nature (Aristotle, 2006). These, according to Aristotle, are accidental friendships and are only initiated on the grounds that they provide pleasure or benefit.…

Inhuman crimes Inhuman crimes have dangerous and long-lasting effects in any community. Offenses such as genocide, war crimes, aggression, and crimes against humanity require a collective effort to eradicate. Over two decades, the international community aspired to create a permanent court to deal with inhumanity. In the twentieth century, nations reached an agreement on the definitions of war crimes, genocide, and crimes against humanity. The International Criminal Court (ICC) is the first global court established to help end impunity in society. In April 2002, ten nations formally approved the Rome Statute of the ICC, which brought the total approvals to more than sixty. These nations activated the United Nations treaty on an international court of last resort. However, the ICC is an independent global agency and not part of the UN system. Today, the court has 123 member nations and has headquarters in The Hague, Netherlands.
