Document Summary
Human rights conference agenda setting meeting (adapted from kent kille, simulation the creation of a new international human rights treaty: active learning in the international studies classroom international studies perspectives, 2002 3 (271-290). This simulation models an international preparatory meeting to set the agenda for a conference to create a new international human rights treaty. The goal of the agenda-setting meeting is to determine which topics, groups, or rights (broadly or narrowly defined) will be on the table, and which will be off the table. You should try to come to consensus, but negotiations may fail or be supported by only some countries. Some countries may choose not to participate in the multilateral process, but instead focus on making bilateral arrangements. Your country is represented by diplomats and a human rights advocate, who you have recruited from a non- governmental organization to be part of your delegation.
