Despite the existence of large number of international organisations and agencies, having all the
resources to their rescue and the presence of various conventions, laws, treaties formulated for
the prevention of such incidents, the occurrences and reoccurrences of such heinous crimes pose
a question mark on the accountability and responsibility of these laws and organizations. The
only inference which could be drawn is that proper application and implementation of these are
not taking place. There can be a range of factors responsible for the non-execution of these laws.
The primary cause is that despite being referred as independent bodies, the driving chains of
these are in the hands of major superpowers who are their member states as well as the various
capitalists whose funds and donations make it possible to run such organisations. Whenever there
is requirement for a staunch action from them, there arises a conflict of interests between the
stakeholders where on one side there falls the needs and requirements of the people who suffer
from such incidences and the protection of whom was the motive behind the conceptualisation of
these organizations while on the other side lie the interests of these member states and private
capitalists on whose funds the organisation runs.
