Examine the role that a specific accountability approach (for example: universal jurisdiction claims, a truth commission, an international court, a reparations process) played in two or three different contexts involving mass human rights violations. Discuss what worked and what did not work. Offer lessons that you think future practitioners should draw from these examples.
Choose a specific human rights issue in any country (including, but not limited to, the United States). Discuss and analyze whether the international human rights system and foreign actors should or should not be involved in seeking to address this issue. Explain why or why not, to what extent, and how this relates to your view of universalism and cultural relativism.

Choose a human rights movement (past or present) and discuss what theories of rights you think informed and shaped this movement. How did this influence the human rights interventions and human rights institutions the movement prioritized?
Pick five authors we read this semester and one real-world human rights issue. Put the authors in conversation with one another and analyze the merits and shortcomings of their views on human rights in relation to that real-world human rights issue.
