PROS: Linking Foreign Aid to Human Rights CONS: Linking Foreign Aid to Human Rights
If Canada insists that countries must have proper
human rights before giving them aid, it will:
- convince countries to improve their human
rights
- not contribute to the perpetuation of human
rights violations
- leave the people in the particular country
even more desperate.
If Canada ignores the human rights violations
happening in a country and gives them aid
regardless, it will:
- give people the help they need
- possibly contribute to more human rights
violations if the local government doesn’t
properly distribute the aid.
- Not discriminate/favour certain places in
need over others.
