When people are attacked by their own government, or when they are denied equal access to education, whose job is it to protect them? the un provides military to victims of human rights violations to redress grievances. each country is required to have an independent “watch dog” organization to intervene in violations when necessary. international organizations like amnesty international and the un raise awareness, report, and try world leaders who are violators. the people of each country must band together to resist attacks by their own government and lobby their government for equal access to education.
