Question
Does the West still value human rights in light of its dismissal of Khashoggi's death?
Position1 of 5

Yes, the universal norm of human rights still holds strong in the West

This position holds that the universal norm of human rights still holds strong in the West, despite controversies. It points to the West's long postwar record — confronting the Axis, founding the United Nations — and to Western organisations that aid those in need worldwide.

  1. Western countries have organizations that help countries that need help
    Save a child, UNICEF, and Oxfam are a few examples of organizations that go out in the world and help bring resources to countries that need help. Poverty, famine, and war have ruined countries around the world. In an effort to support them, western countries contribute resources to improve these countries' quality of life.
  2. World powers unite with western countries to support global human rights
    The United Nations is an organization made to bring peace to the world and prevent wars. The countries that are part of the UN are America, Canada, Saudi Arabia, and Japan. Western countries like the United Kingdom and Australia make regular contributions to the UN to make the world a better place.
