Theory on Human Rights Universal Indivisible Interdependent Cannot be separated into importance, all equal A right that cannot be taken from you Equally applicable to all people everywhere Protection of one right helps protection of others Protected by law Universal Indivisible Interdependent Inalienable Judicial/Codified

Declaration of Rights After reading: What are your first thoughts on reading the declaration? Do you think it’s important document? A necessary document? An effective document? Are there any rights you feel should not be included? Any that have been overlooked?

Presentation Working individually, you are to develop a presentation exploring an example of when human rights have been breached or denied by a state. You may find groups such as Amnesty International or Human Rights Watch a useful place to start but this presentation should be based on YOUR opinion. If you can support what you say with evidence then you are free to choose any case study you wish. You will present your case studies to the class. They must be no longer than 5 minutes long (any longer than 5 minutes 30 seconds and you will be shut down). You will be assessed using the HL assessment criteria.

Post Presentation - Are the examples you found of breaches of Human Rights accepted as genuine breaches of natural law in the countries these breaches took place in? - Should the perpetrators of these breaches be punished in an international or national court. - As the UN Declaration on Human Rights is vague and open to interpretation should we be surprised that there are not more breaches of these rights. - Is there a common geographical pattern with the breaches of Human Rights that you have found.
