1 essay, 5–6 pages, single spaced, 100 points possible
During this course we’ve covered quite a range of topics that relate to the topic of the interconnections among human rights, law, war, and peace. As we discussed in Lesson 9, we cannot think of these topics as separate and distinct, because they combine to affect the realization of human rights in practice.
For this final paper, pick an issue that pertains to human rights and/or peace and do the following:
If you are finding it difficult to propose a solution, don’t panic. Issues regarding human rights and peace are immensely complicated, and any potential solution to such issues will themselves be complicated.

Focus on thinking about the interconnections among the topics we have covered and how accounting for these interconnections allows you to think more in depth about the issue.
Your final paper will be assessed according to the Scoring Rubric” section below.
