Final Research Paper: International Organizations and Human Rights

Your final research paper should be between 3-5 double-spaced pages, excluding the reference list. You must use Chicago-style parenthetical references.

Explore and analyze the impact of an IGO, NGO, or MNC on a specific human rights problem. Make sure to include overviews of the organizations you mention in your own words- no quotations, but be sure to cite paraphrased information with Chicago in-text citations.

Give the background of a specific human rights issue, event, or incident where an IGO, NGO, and/or MNC has taken action. Give a summary of that event, the outcome (or current progress), and an analysis of how you feel it was handled. Evaluate successes and failures, as well as what could have been done differently. Assess if the actors are cooperating on this issue and how well.

Your paper should include the following components:

Introduction with a thesis statement

Background of human rights issue

Background of the actor(s) and actions taken

Impact – what has been the outcome? Where did the actors succeed or fail? What could have been done differently? Should other actors have become involved? If so, who?
