Overview
To start to appreciate how people’s human rights can conflict and why they need to be limited, students review a legal case between Naomi Campbell and the Mirror. They learn that most human rights can be limited but some are absolute, and then take on the role of Head Teacher to review a number of scenarios and decide if human rights should be limited or not. They finish by discussing the limits of different human rights.
