Assess the extent to which the MDGs were successful (12) intro + 3 main points ✔Correct Answer-
intro- MDGs were set of 8 goals based on human rights development created by UN 2000-2015,
whether were success or not unclear with large differences between countries
-one of most successful was goal 2 universal primary education, high overall enrolment, shows clear
success e.g. Tanzania where by 2010 nationwide enrolment up to 95% from 59% in 2000, however
this initial success of increased education participation lead to some problems, e.g. lack of resources
to deal with increased class sizes, will likely decrease educational quality and so question what
benefits will actually be received by children, shows how success unlikely to continue
-another MDGs with varying success is improving maternal health/children mortality rates (goals 4 +
5), countries such as Nepal has been some success with free childbirth for all mothers from
development fund, however can't be said to be universal e.g. in Zimbabwe these have declined, have
corrupt government + lack of political stability which will play large role in them meeting their MDGs,
could show how MDGs would never be universally successful due to individual countries own
circumstances
-can also be seen in reducing extreme poverty, although has reduce by 56%, china accounts for 500
million of this putting statistic into question, e.g. in Afghanistan a country in midst of conflict, 80%
population still drink contaminated water sources. another example how MDGs never going to be
completely successful due to not recognising other factors, as Paul Collier said, 'we got to recognise
the complexity' not just poverty alone, MDGs successful in some areas but not all.
Evaluate 'some developments improve human rights while others have negative
environmental/cultural impacts' (20) ✔Correct Answer-
Explain reasons why national sovereignty poses a problem in countries intervening in human rights
abuses (6) ✔Correct Answer--national sovereignty describes the idea by which each nation has a
right to govern itself without interference from other nations, with this being a principle within
international law. However due to a number of cases involving instances of governments abusing the
rights of their own people, such as torture and imprisonment, this has added weight to the principle
of the responsibility to protect, meaning countries are increasingly having to intervene with this then
creating tensions between the two principles.
-example could be said to be that of zimbabwe...
Evaluate importance both international law + international agreement in protecting human rights
(20) ✔Correct Answer-Intro- number agreements made, both between certain countries and
globally seen as law, can be seen important often in outlining protections needed however in
implementation not always as significant
- UDHR, formed after WW2, 30 articles basic human rights, e.g. banning torture/equality, one first
agreements outlining such principles, signed 48 countries, although not legally binding still important
as has lead to member nations including in own laws, forms framework foreign policy, helps inform
military/economic interventions + influenced how many countries deem human rights, however- as
not legally binding + more just guidelines not actually universal, not all signed, e.g. south africa
protect apartheid initially as not agreed with this, or saudi arabia that doesn't agree with right all
belief + woman equality, shows how not that significant by fact many groups still suffer regardless as
can't actually be enforced
, - ECHR, European, also after ww2, all members incorporate into laws, don't have to go to european
court, e.g. UK 1998 human rights act, protect basic rights, means all public bodies/functions in uk
must abide by them, laws made using principles, helps human rights as all residents treated equally +
helped human right hearings in uk as no need go to europe, however- is being threatened, uk
national soveirgnty, believe should make own judgements, played large role in brexit + so now
threatened, already shown violation 60% cases so may not be very effective anyway as can get away
not following
- more global agreement Geneva convention, specific war, 196 countries, protect those caught up in
conflict, e.g. civilians/medics, however despite overall global consensus, number issues, countries
own rights to prosecute so issues national authority + as occurs 'fog war' very hard to prosecute with
little evidence/m
Evaluate the significance of governments and IGOs in defining development targets and policies (20)
intro + 4 points + conclusion ✔Correct Answer-Intro- Development targets and policies can play a
large role in helping countries to reach certain development levels and improve their own
development, however there is also evidence to suggest that by defining these targets does not
always actually help countries reach them.
-One of the largest set of development goals were defined by the UN, who established the MDGs, a
set of 8 development goals ranging from poverty to education, aiming for these to be reached
between 2000-2015. There is much evidence to suggest that through defining these goals, there has
been significant progress in many countries reaching better levels of development through specific
targets and policies being implemented by other IGOs to meet them. For example, the World Bank
joined part of the Global partnership of education, which was specifically created to help reach the
MDGs 2 and 3 for childhood education in lesser developed regions, and as a result has invested over
$30 billion into the programme. This has helped many regions rapidly increase primary education
levels, especially for minority groups, and it is unlikely such investment would have occurred if such
specific goals were not made. This can also be seen with other issues such as environmental
sustainability, as implemented also by the World bank who have invested heavily into renewable
technologies into areas such as in India to not only help in terms of energy sources, but also develop
help + protection for the increasing threat of climate change to many of the poorest regions. This
therefore does show the significant of development targets being made by IGOs such as the UN,
especially as they are so diverse and look at both the short and long term development of a region.
-However, it must be said that due to the majority of these IGOs being western and capitalist models,
