Answer:

D. The lack of political stability makes it more difficult for being to receive aid.

Explanation:

Using the except, the statement that best explains why the famine in Somalia had a high mortality rate is the lack of political stability can make it more difficult for people to receive help. Droughts lead to famines but the effects become more devastating in politically unstable countries. It's hard to distribute resources and many times rival groups will try to keep aid and resources for themselves.

Answer:

Based on the excerpt by the BBC, some of the causes of the deadly famine in Somalia include:

The famine in Somalia has a high rate of mortality based on the BBC excerpt because there was:

Drought.

Conflict within the country

The power tussle between Islamic rival groups especially the Al-Shabaab.

Political instability which prevents aids from donor agencies

Explanation:

This famine period that hit Somalia was between 2010-2013  and this lead to about the death of almost 260,000 people both adult and children during this period. During this period, the Islamic ground who were in control prevents foreign donors from bringing in food items by claiming the country is not facing any form of famine thereby resulting in a lot of death.

Tresset [83]

subjects may experience emotional or psychological distress

Mention the importance of child rights in points ​
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)

Explanation:

Children’s rights are human rights. They protect the child as a human being. As human rights, children’s rights are constituted by fundamental guarantees and essential human rights:

  • Children’s rights recognize fundamental guarantees to all human beings: the right to life, the non-discrimination principle, the right to dignity through the protection of physical and mental integrity (protection against slavery, torture and bad treatments.

  • Children’s rights are civil and political rights, such as the right to identity, the right to a nationality, etc.

  • Children’s rights are economic, social and cultural rights, such as the right to education, the right to a decent standard of living, the right to health.

  • Children’s rights include individual rights: the right to live with his or her parents, the right to education, the right to benefit from protection.

  • Children’s rights include collective rights: rights of refugee and disabled children, of minority children or from autochthonous groups.

Children are individuals

  • Children are neither the possessions of parents nor of the state, nor are they mere people-in-the-making; they have equal status as members of the human family.

Children start life as totally dependent beings

  • Children must rely on adults for the nurture and guidance they need to grow towards independence. Such nurture is ideally found from adults in children's families, but when primary adult caregivers cannot meet children's needs, it is up to the State as the primary duty bearer to find an alternative in the best interests of the child.

Making sure that children are equal

  • The Government must make sure that all children have the rights in the Convention, regardless of their race, their parent’s race, colour, sex, language, religion, political or other opinion, national, ethnic or social origin, property, disability, birth or other status (article 2).

Children’s best interests

  • The Government must make sure that your best interests are taken into account when any decision is made which affects you.  All organisations working with children should work in a way that is best for children including courts, social workers and state schools (article 3).

Parent’s rights and right to family life

  • The Government must respect the rights of your parents / family / carers to raise you, if they are raising you in a way that respects your rights (article 5).  You also have the right to know and be cared for by your parents (article 5), and the government must make sure that you are not taken away from your parents against your will, unless this is in your best interests,

Elden [556K]

Answer:

The correct answer is :

  • not void the contract since at least one of the elements of mutual mistake is missing

Explanation:

It means that the contract signed between two parties is not currently valid. The terms aren't held by them.  A void contract is basically unenforceable. It is considered illegitimate from the moment it was created so any obligations or rights can be executed.
