international laws are very ineffective when dealing with human rights as they have no power to change a countries laws or practices due to state soveriengty it can only do reports into the issue and publish them causing an shaming of that particular country in the international community or at the very worst ask countries to place sanctions upon the particular country.

Next question: what kind of law does defamation fall under?

Define human rights and give an example
Human rights are those basic standards without which people cannot live in dignity. To violate someone’s human rights is to treat that person as though she or he were not a human being. To advocate human rights is to demand that the human dignity of all people be respected. Rights are granted automatically when we are born. We have the right to freedom, to walk the streets without feeling threatened, to not be discriminated against. In some countries these are formal basic human rights enjoyed and taken for granted by many, but in some countries people believe these are rights they have (implied) but really they dont actually formally exist. Rather they are being exploited and are victims of human rights violations. Here the UN comes in and "tries" its hardest to make these violation stop.
Omg i hope that's right.....i think it did pretty well :) lol

anyway next question fellows:

what is Capitalism?

i dont know manifestation
tell me!
an economic system characterized by private or corporate ownership of capital goods by investments that are determined by private decision rather than by state-control, and by prices, production, and the distribution of goods that are determined mainly by competition in a free market.

Capitalism is an evolving concept which is derived from earlier European economic practices (see Feudalism, Imperialism, Mercantilism). Capitalism is widely considered to be the dominant economic system in the world. There is continuing debate over the definition, nature, and scope of this system.

i'd say D because it covers negligence and Anita wasn't looking after her dog. Btw does capialism have anything to do with legal? I'm pretty sure it doesn't...
