Guarantees of human rights
Answers are for parents and teachers.
1
Invent three situations of violated rights and write the body to apply to for each.
For example: wages unpaid – labour inspection/court; official did not answer – higher body/court; unlawful detention – advocate, court, prosecutor’s office.
2
Write the difference between the ombudsman and a court in three sentences.
A court gives binding rulings; the ombudsman, as parliamentary oversight, examines complaints and recommends.
3
Explain the word “guarantee” and give two examples of guarantees of rights.
A guarantee is a means to ensure a right is exercised in practice; for example, court protection and an advocate’s help.
4
Why is a defender’s help needed by everyone, even an accused person? Write your view.
Because everyone has the right to a fair trial; defence ensures the presumption of innocence and lawfulness.
5
Find one organisation in your area that provides legal assistance.
The answer depends on the place; for example, a justice body, a bar association or a legal-aid centre.
