Question 10 • World History

When people are attacked by their own government, or when they are denied equal access to education, whose job is it to protect them?

Answer

The UN provides military help to victims of human rights violations to redress grievances.

International organizations like Amnesty International and the UN raise awareness, report, and try world leaders who are violators.

Each country is required to have an independent “watch dog” organization to intervene in violations when necessary.

The people of each country must band together to resist attacks by their own government and lobby their government for equal access to education.

Explanation

International organizations can help protect human rights by documenting abuses, raising awareness, and putting pressure on governments and world leaders to address violations. Amnesty International reports on abuses, while the UN works through its agencies and processes to promote and protect human rights. The UN does not generally provide military help to victims, so choice C is incorrect.
