Please note: Given the breadth of the human rights doctrine, there are resources in a wide range of disciplines that will be relevant. Students respond strongly to audio-visual material, and where facilities exist for using them, local education libraries and a number of United Nations agencies can supply examples. Some international addresses are provided in the text. The Human Rights Commission provides a video called Talk Back which explores human rights issues in an Australian context; plus a video for schools containing two films--one (Don't think I don't think) about the rights of people with mental disabilities, and the other (Fair enough) about three episodes in a high school girl's day where her human rights are not respected.
