Question:
Nowadays, the idea of the protection of human rights on an international basis is revolutionary due to the fact that on some occasions the law had no place for it at all. However, the turning point for this change of the paradigm is the Charter of the United Nations, which is usually referred to as the starting point for any study of the protection of international human rights. They reaffirmed their faith in fundamental human rights.
Considering the legal system of your country regarding the protection of human rights prepare:
1.Firstly a power point presentation (maximum 20 slides) in which you will identify the gaps/weaknesses of various laws regarding human rights which areas you believe need to be amended or enhanced in order to make these laws correspond to the present day society and why?
2.Secondly, prepare a speech (up to 2000 words) that you will present at United Nations conference on the protection of human rights. To prepare and complete the speech please choose an aspect of the law that you believe requires improvement and using examples and/or case studies justify why and how you would propose to improve it.
