The following video, What are human rights?, was prepared by the United for Human Rights (UHR) group. It is available at humanrights.com and Youth for Human Rights International™. The historical references made in this video are very scattered, contentious and incomplete, but the video is well-done overall. This is a great very basic introduction to human rights.
The Goodis Center is still waiting on funding and video-specialists to prepare our own video-introduction to human rights. Stay tuned for updates on that project, or contact us at projects@robertgoodis.org to volunteer your assistance.
The PDF linked below is of a report prepared by Robert Goodis for a class in 2008. It has been reformatted, but has not been formally reviewed since submission for academic credit. Because of it’s relevant topic, it is being made available under both the personal & academic writings section of this blog and the section reserved for The Goodis Center.
In the drafting process, this paper was entitled Police Use of Weapons and Force in the United States of America: A Review of Human Rights in Law Enforcement and Relevant Policy. This PDF bears the official title, Human Rights and U.S. Policy Review: Law Enforcement Use of Conducted Energy Devices.
