This course examines why violations of the most vulnerable continue to exist in countries from different regions of the world through issues such as children’s bonded labor, involuntary participation in armed conflict and terrorism, forced marriage, sex-trafficking, and denied access to food, health care, and education. Through the lens of children’s human rights, students will examine how attenuated aspects of failed and/or weak states affect the rights of children. Credit hours: 4. Prerequisite: Sophomore standing. (SS)
