LiP – HRs abuses and military intervention – using Film – Blood Diamond

Blood Diamond (15- but with extreme violence at the beginning) as intro to Sierra Leone case study – searing, political and romantic.  Link to UK intervention in Sierra Leone, Charles Taylor trial (Naomi Campbell again) and Tony Blair doctrine – e.g.http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2002/may/14/sierraleone1.  Need to find original documentation and testimony.

AmnestyUSA has detailed curriculum guide which cross references resource conflicts in Columbia, Nigeria, Cambodia and Cote D’Ivoire, and extensive sources and links. http://www.amnestyusa.org/education/pdf/bd_curriculumguide.pdf

Amnesty UK also uses it as part of their HR profile raising – http://www.amnesty.org.uk/content.asp?CategoryID=10836#blood.
