215 million children under the age of 18 are child workers (“Child Protection”). Child labor is an increasing problem among human rights violations. Before 1836 there were no child labor laws, but during 1836 Massachusetts was the first state in the United States to make a child labor law. This law required children under the age of 15 that worked in factories to attend school at least three months out of the year (“Child Labor”).

Additionally, liberal pluralists emphasize on non-governmental organizations as the primary factors in achieving human rights. Some theorists argue that it should be up to the NGOs to endorse human rights, not up to the individual states. Many Sub-Saharan African states including Guinea, Angola, and Zimbabwe have corrupt governments that do not provide effective services to its citizens.

India, a country with a population of more than 1 billion people, is home to many small, rural communities that have never encouraged education among their citizens (CIA, 2016). In one of these communities, a family of eight struggles to get by with the little money the family makes as tenant farmers. Overtime, situations such as these have been bettered thanks to the Millennium Development Goals, but there is room for further achievement. Since the implementation of the Millennium Development…

Poverty rates in developing countries continue to inflate enormously. Countries such as Niger and Burundi are faced with an epidemic of continued poverty and no improvement in sight. Several factors affect the rate of poverty in developing countries. The primary factors that significantly improve or deteriorate poverty rates in countries such as Malaysia, Thailand, Niger, and Burundi are the mean years a women spends in school and the average age of a woman 's first marriage. In perspective, the…

International law is a broad body that operates within an anarchic system. It contains two sections of law as well as a multitude of organizations that work within the laws. These laws also are enforced, or attempted to be enforced, by international courts in which states hold each other accountable for their actions. International law contains two types, public and private. Public international law is legal norms such as treaties that apply to interactions between states or states and other…

Affecting society socially, economically, politically, and culturally, international conflict and human rights is an important theme to study. Often young adults have little knowledge regarding this topic; however, since being informed helps one to be a valuable citizen, further education is crucial.
