- Briefly summarise the case study
- Identify three (3) key human rights issues in the case study.
- For each key issue, explain why these are issues – i.e. identify the human rights gaps, tensions or problems that need to be addressed.
- For each key issue, provide one (ie, a total of three in your analysis) key recommendation you would make to inform policy in relation to this particular issue, supported by relevant literature.
