What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students identify how countries and international organizations responded to a human rights violation. They use evidence to judge what each response achieved and what it failed to do.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can distinguish U.S. sanctions on Myanmar military leaders from UNHCR aid for Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. They use evidence to explain a result and a limit of each response.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think sanctions stop violence right away or that refugee aid punishes those responsible. They may also assume the U.N. can force any country to act.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: In 2017, the U.S. sanctioned a Myanmar commander, and UNHCR aided Rohingya refugees in Bangladesh. Which response met immediate needs, and what could each response not do?
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Have pairs sort printed U.S. sanctions and UNHCR aid cards into immediate relief and accountability columns, then name one limit of each.
Ask: Would sanctions or refugee aid help Rohingya families sooner? What evidence supports your answer, and what would remain unresolved?
Groups match U.S. sanctions, UNHCR aid, and U.N. investigations to pressure, relief, or documentation, then name one limit per response.
Read a current UNHCR Rohingya update and a U.S. Treasury Myanmar sanctions notice; list which needs each addresses for displaced families.
