International Criminal Court: has jurisdiction to prosecute individuals for the international crimes of genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, and the crime of aggression. Currently has 123 member states.

Unicef: provides humanitarian and developmental aid to children and mothers in developing countries.

Cultural Relativism

Individual rights: refer to the liberties of each individual to pursue life and goals without interference from other individuals. For example: the right to life

all nations should respect differences and boundaries; no country can accept the politicization of human rights. It should be stressed that there is a difference between human rights and the respect of laws, the judiciary system, and national security. In short, a dialogue is acceptable; politicization is not.
