Respect 
Worksheet
Answer the following questions:
- Read through the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) and the European Convention of Human Rights. Which do you think is more easily enforced? Explain
why.
- Choose three of the countries profiled in “Respect” and using
the UDHR as a guide identify which human rights are being violated in the
countries you have chosen.
- You have been appointed as spokesperson for a new UK human rights pressure
group. Your organisation has decided to target the governments of several
countries in order to convince them to put a stop to human rights violations
within their borders.
Choose one of the three countries you identified in
the above activity and develop a strategy for how you would convince the government
to make changes.
Will you write letters? Start a media campaign within the
country? Orchestrate a coup? Among other things, your strategy should include
such things as what activities you will carry out, how and when you will implement
them, where you will get funding and manpower, and who specifically in each
country you will target.
- With all the attention on atrocities around the world, it’s easy to
overlook human rights violations here at home. Identify an instance when human
rights have been violated in the UK and explain how you would bring justice
for the victim.
