250 words

Answer 1

Solution -

Yes: The Council on Foreign Relations,

from "The Global Human Rights Regime,"

Council on Foreign Relations (2012)

No: Amnesty International,

from "Amnesty International Report 2014/15: The State of the World’s Human Rights,"

Amnesty International, London (2015)

The Council on Foreign Relations, an independent nonpartisan and essentially American think tank, in an Issue Brief summarizes the development of an elaborate global system of governmental and nongovernmental organizations developed primarily over the past few decades to promote human rights throughout the world, while recognizing that the task is still far from complete. Amnesty International’s annual report on the state of human rights around the world suggests major failures in all regions, with suffering by many from conflict, displacement, discrimination, and/or repression.
