For each violation, answer the following questions:
1. What do these sites have in common?
2. What has the UN response been to the atrocities committed in these places?
3. Has the UN been effective in improving human rights in these nations? Why or why not?
Violation A
Revised Response: The International Coalition was not established during World War II, so there was no direct
International Coalition response to the atrocities committed at Auschwitz-Birkenau. However, the horrors of the
Holocaust contributed to the establishment of the International Coalition and the development of international
human rights norms.
Revised Effectiveness: The International Coalition has played a crucial role in the post-World War II era in
promoting human rights, preventing genocide, and raising awareness about the Holocaust to prevent such
atrocities from occurring again.
Violation B
Revised Response: The International Coalition had a peacekeeping presence in Srebrenica during the Bosnian
War. However, during the Srebrenica massacre, International Coalition peacekeepers were unable to prevent
the killings and failed to protect the vulnerable population.
Revised Effectiveness: The failure of the International Coalition in protecting the civilians in Srebrenica led to
significant reforms in international peacekeeping operations and a reevaluation of its response to genocide and
mass atrocities.
Violation C
Revised Response: The International Coalition did not exist during the Nanking Massacre, as it took

place before the establishment of the International Coalition. However, the International Coalition
has condemned the massacre and supports efforts to promote reconciliation, justice, and
remembrance.
Revised Effectiveness: The International Coalition, through various bodies like the International
Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia and the International Criminal Court, works to hold
individuals accountable for war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, including similar
atrocities to the Nanking Massacre.

For each violation, answer the following questions:
1. What do these sites have in common?
2. What has the UN response been to the atrocities committed in these places?
3. Has the UN been effective in improving human rights in these nations? Why or why not?
Violation D
Revised Response: The International Coalition has been critical of the indefinite detention,
torture, and lack of due process at Guantánamo Bay. Various international bodies, such as the
International Human Rights Council and the Committee Against Torture, have issued reports
and recommendations to address human rights concerns.
Revised Effectiveness: Despite ongoing concerns and advocacy efforts, challenges remain in
resolving the human rights issues at Guantánamo Bay. The closure of the detention facility has
been an ongoing topic of debate and faces political and legal complexities.
Violation E
Revised Response: The International Coalition actively campaigned against apartheid in South
Africa and imposed various sanctions on the apartheid regime. The International Coalition
General Assembly and Security Council adopted numerous resolutions condemning apartheid.
Revised Effectiveness: The International Coalition's collective efforts, along with global pressure
and internal resistance, played a significant role in ultimately bringing an end to apartheid in
South Africa. Nelson Mandela's imprisonment on Robben Island became a symbol of the
struggle against apartheid and contributed to international solidarity.

Violation F
Revised Response: The International Coalition did not have a direct response to the atrocities
committed during the Khmer Rouge regime. However, the Extraordinary Chambers in the
Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), established with International Coalition assistance, has been tasked
with prosecuting senior Khmer Rouge leaders.
Revised Effectiveness: The ECCC, although facing challenges, has made some progress in holding
individuals accountable for the crimes committed during the Khmer Rouge era. The International
Coalition's involvement has contributed to the pursuit of justice and reconciliation in Cambodia.
