    (International Journal of Law, Humanities & Social Science, 2017) Heather, Eddah
    Illicit brew in Kenya has existed for over a century. There has been several legislations in place meant to curb its production, consumption and sale, due to its negative impacts among them, death and addiction, dating back to the pre-independence Kenya. The aim of this paper is to examine the chronological legislations of alcohol and its effects in terms of illicit brews control since the 1900s to date. The paper utilized secondary data from journals and research reports. The Alcohol control Act 2010, is a viable legislation that can absolutely eradicate illicit brews if properly implemented, though, previous legislations received minimal impact.

    Reconsidering the Role of the United Nations Security Council in Promoting Peace and Security in a Rapidly Changing World: Case of the International Migration Crises
    (www.researchpublish.com, 2016) Mugure, Stephanie; Oyugi, Agostinho; Uwineza, Bernadette; Ebot, Emmanuel Tabi; Wanjiru, Mwangi Lydia; Ngeno, Weldon K
    Over the last 15 years around 22,000 men, women and children have drowned in the Mediterranean Sea. Majority of these people are fleeing from conflict and poverty mainly from the Middle East. Despite the vast migration of refugees to the European countries in search for better and safer environments very little has been done by the international community to save the situation. Thousands of migrants die in the process while others end up being subjected to harsh migration laws. In 2015 the total number of people that were subjected to death in attempt to reach Europe was about 2373. The International Community response in recent years to migration across the Mediterranean has focused largely on trying to prevent or discourage people attempting to make dangerous crossing. In reality, attempts to prevent crossing are likely to fail as this approach overlook the reasons people are willing to risk their lives to attempt several deadly sea passages. This paper looks at the challenges of the International Migration Crises and the ongoing suffering. It seeks to set out the problem of the international Migration crises and the causes of the migration. This work seeks to Challenge the United Nations to consider passing a resolution that all governments provide comprehensive responses, expand safe and legal channels of migration and act with humanity, compassion and in accordance with their international obligations. Advocating for the respectful and fair treatment of Migrants, and defend their access to procedures that guarantee basic rights enshrined in international law, albeit to help resolve this international migration crises.
