Discussion exercise
Is the restriction on human rights justified?
You have been assigned to a discussion group with 30 other students. Choose one of the situations described in the media stories below, and in the online discussion forum post a short (less than 200 words) note indicating why you think the restriction on human rights is or isn’t justified. Make reference to either the derogation or limitation clauses in the ICCPR, or both. You must also comment on at least one contribution posted by one of your classmates in the discussion group – indicating why you agree or disagree with their analysis, or what they might have added.
