The signing of the Abraham Accords marked an extraordinary step toward regional and global peace. However, there is no unified agreement shared among all participants, and several major gaps still need resolution.
The Magna Carta, signed in 1215 by the King of England, restricted royal power and laid the groundwork for modern European ideas of human rights and constitutional law. In today’s world, contracts and treaties are expected to be mutually understood and respected by all involved parties.
