Overview
Choose one human rights organization and one environmental organization and write 4 pages in which you evaluate the effectiveness of each.
Context
For this assessment, you will discuss human rights issues as well as environmental issues. In addition, consider solutions to these issues as well as the application of international law and the ways rights are assured—and sometimes denied—through international law. It would be naive to ignore the reality that most global actors emphasize their own interests. However, this is also true in domestic systems. What is different between global and domestic systems is not so much the motives of the actors as the fact that domestic systems place greater restraints on the pursuit of self-interest than the international system does (or is able to do) at this time.
