HUMAN RIGHTS - GLOBAL ISSUES - BELOW LEVEL

At the center of many conflicts around the world are human rights, making this one of the key issues in the world today. These rights include the freedom to vote, to assemble, to speak one's mind, to be treated fairly before the law, and to gain an education. In several societies around the world, people are struggling to gain their rights. However, as Human Rights explains, people have shown great courage as they overcome serious obstacles to gain their rights and exercise democratic freedoms.
