Suggestions for follow-up
Depending on which motion the group discussed, you may want to pursue some of
the other human rights issues raised in the different proposals:
The activity “Money to spend” in Compass looks at the tension between military
spending and securing human rights.
“Chahal vs. UK”, available in Compass online, is a mock trial which looks at the
rights of a suspected terrorist.
The activity “Children’s rights” in Compass provides an introduction to the
Convention on the Rights of the Child, or “Take a step upwards” (Compass
online) looks specifically at the right to participation for young people.
Further information
A motion is a proposal which will be put to the vote, for example: “The Government should
not spend any more money on transport until the housing problem has been fully resolved.”
An amendment is a change which one party might propose in order to make the original motion
acceptable. For example:
“The government should not spend any more money on roads until 90% of those currently
homeless have been housed.”
Or “The government should continue to improve the transport system irrespective of other
problems.”
