Responses to Human Rights Violations
Responding to human rights violations is a complex undertaking. Deciding factors, such as foreign policy, fiscal limitations, and human rights policies influence whether a response to human rights violations will occur. There are numerous ways to respond to human rights violations.
Depending on the violation, response may come from international, national, or local community resources. Sometimes a joint effort is needed to appropriately respond to a violation. For this Discussion, a thorough review of the Learning Resources is required, given the complexity of responses to human rights violations.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review Chapters 11 and 12 in your course text, Universal Human Rights in Theory and Practice. Think about the development of human rights regimes, policy, and joint efforts to respond to violations.
View Chapters 6, 7, and 8 of the Frontline video and consider various responses to human rights violations in Darfur.
Use the map to view human rights violations around the globe. Make sure to pay attention to the responses to violations.
Use the human rights violation that you selected in Week 2 for this Discussion.
Think about how one community (international, national, or local) might or did respond to the human rights violation.
