Human Rights Violations
Current Events Presentation

You are tasked with researching a current event where human rights are being
violated. You will need to give a short presentation (max. 5 min) to the class about this
current human rights violation. Think of it as summarizing the event for the class, like
a news segment. You can choose how you want to present (video, PowerPoint, etc.)

This presentation needs to include the following:

1. What is the current event you have chosen to examine? Give a brief summary of
what is happening.
2. What UN article(s) on the Universal Declaration of Human Rights are broken or
not honoured?
3. How could the situation be resolved? How would this resolution ensure that
human rights are no longer being violated?

A great place to start your research would be the Human Rights Watch website:
