(these are the headings in the article)
Students will travel from each piece of paper and take turns writing down the points/ideas for each heading that attracts their attention.

This seems to be a place to start with for high level ESL students. The site lays out a wide range of issues, there are many articles to read, and the site appears to be very user-friendly. Look at the geographical organization. One can also search by category of human rights. Perhaps as an initial exploration of the topic, students could choose an issue they found interesting and report back to their small groups what the issue is and why they chose it. This might encourage other students to become familiar with that issue.
Human Rights Watch is one of the world's leading independent organizations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights.

Racism is the belief that characteristics and abilities can be attributed to people simply on the basis of their race and that some racial groups are superior to others. Racism and discrimination have been used as powerful weapons encouraging fear or hatred of others in times of conflict and war, and even during economic downturns.
