#2 Human Rights Violations – Research Project – 100 points World Cultures 16-17

Directions: Using the 2015 (or most recent) Annual Report on your chosen country, create a google slideshow that explains the human rights violations your country has been observed denying to its citizens and the connections to the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR).

Get into pairs to work on this project.

Using Amnesty.org and their country reports, look at the most recent reports and choose a country from that region which has a poor record of upholding human rights. Look at several countries before settling on one. Once you have a country selected, check in with Morris to see if it’s been taken. Countries are first come first serve.
