INTERNATIONAL INSECURITY AND THE USE OF FORCE2Part II: International Insecurity and the Use of Force in DarfurThe Media, the People, and Public OpinionTransnational actors, interest groups, public opinion, and the media have monumentallyinfluenced the war in Darfur. These outletshave been instrumental in intervention,disseminating information, while also keeping the public abreast ofthecurrent warfare in Darfur.Categorically, transnational actors are organizations that work across national boundaries butwhose members are not states. Transnational actors are involved in almost every important issuein the world.Additionally,transnational actors encompass transnational corporations, andtransnational advocacy networks.Transnationalcorporations pursue global strategies forproduction, sales, research, and investment. Transnational advocacy networks also play agrowing role in international politics. Transnationaladvocacy networks orTAN are groups thatorganize across national boundaries to pursue some political, social, or cultural goal (D’Anieri,2014).An example of a transnational actor is the involvement of Human Rights Watch.HumansRights Watchis one of the world’s leading independent organizations dedicated todefending and protecting human rights.By focusing international attention where humanrightsare violated, theygive voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes.Theirrigorous, objective investigations and strategic, targeted advocacy build intense pressurefor action and raise the cost of human rights abuse.Human Rights Watch has workedtenaciously to lay the legal and moral groundwork for deep-rooted change and has fought tobring greater justice and security to people around the world, including the citizens of Darfur(hrw.org).
