Q For this activity, please spend some time exploring the Human Rights Research Guide here: http://guides.lib.uw.edu/c.php?g=341423&p=3725087. Focus on the primary sources link and the organizations link for this week. If you have begun narrowing down your ideas for what country you want to write about for your Country Research Paper, use this opportunity to explore sources related to that country. Explore multiple different topics until you find a set of two useful sources in each of the following categories: 1) Sources produced by those experiencing a human rights violation (could be local organizations and activists, court cases, etc. - try the "Human Rights Documents Online" link under Primary Sources) 2) Sources of law related to those harms (treaty text, protocols, etc. - on this one I recommend going straight to the UN website, and our class go-to the OHCHR, https://www.ohchr.org/en/treaty-bodies) (Links to an external site.) 3) Sources produced by NGOs or government agencies (reports, etc. - using the "Organizations" link on the research guide) Submit a document here listing the full citations (not library web addresses) for these six sources and a sentence or two about each. Note that it's OK if you are unsure how to cite a document or treaty, just list the title, where you got it, any date or author you can find, and any other pertinent info.
