Presentation transcript:

DISCUSSION A madman who has threatened to explode several bombs in crowded areas has been apprehended. Unfortunately, he has already planted the bombs and they are scheduled to go off in a short time. It is possible that hundreds of people may die. The authorities cannot make him divulge the location of the bombs by conventional methods. He refuses to say anything and continuously demands a lawyer. In exasperation, some high level official suggests torture. This would be illegal, of course, but the official thinks that it is nevertheless the right thing to do in this desperate situation. Do you agree? If you do, would it also be morally justifiable to torture the mad bomber’s innocent wife if that is the only way to make him talk? Why?

PRISONERS OF WAR

INDIVIDUALS HAVE… the right to legal recourse when their rights have been violated the right to life the right to liberty and freedom of movement the right to equality before the law the right to presumption of innocence until proven guilty the right to appeal a conviction the right to be recognized as a person before the law the right to privacy and protection of that privacy by law the freedom of thought, conscience, and religion the freedom of opinion and expression the freedom of assembly and association Should everyone be granted these rights? Why or why not? Should these rights be applied to criminals and prisoners or war? Why or why not?

RESEARCH 1.What was the purpose of the Hague Convention of 1907? 2.What rights did the Geneva Convention establish for prisoners of war? 3.How is a "lawful combatant" defined by the Third Geneva Convention? 4.How is a "protected person" defined by the Fourth Geneva Convention?

THE 2014 VANCOUVER CONVENTION In a small group, make 2 lists, each consisting of a maximum of 5 points: 1.What rights you feel that Civic Mirror prisoners should be allowed. 2.What should be the consequences for breaking the rights you set out in List 1?
