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.
