It's a very useful site both fir teachers and students. If you're a student you can improve your grammar and build up vocabulary. Teachers can find lesson plans and different material to be used in classes. I find especially useful material on Reading Comprehension skills (http://esl.about.com/od/englishreadingskills/English_Reading_Comprehension_Skills_for_ESL_EFL_Learners.htm)

This is a ready-made lesson by Sean Banville about International Mine Day. It is quite accessible and there are different ways to use the material. I liked it because in addition to the reading / speaking / vocab activities it comes with an MP3 recording. Lots of potential!

This is a collection of sites where you can research human rights from different perspectives. This group of web sites offers articles from different institutions that fight for and support human rights. These sites give you concepts of universal human rights. You will also be provided with a list of links to different organizations in which you can even find human rights areas for education, material resources and planned activities for teaching human rights.

Amnesty International is a global movement of people fighting injustice and promoting human rights (http://www.amnestyusa.org/our-work). This website offers lesson plans that have been carefully planned by professionals. It also offers Film Curriculum Guides and Teaching Guides for Educators.

There seems to be a wide variety of lesson plans on many issues dealing with human rights and for many different levels of students. I don't know whether these lesson plans could be used as presented, but they appear to provide at least a blueprint for a lesson plan. I also like the references given in the lesson plan, and the plans are easily downloaded.

I had a look at this site after seeing it recommended here on Diigo (thanks!) and it seems to have a lot of potential.  I agree with Richard that teachers would probably need to adapt some of the activities. There are some nice materials though and the 'Rights & Responsibilities' and 'The Right to an Education' are a nice lead-in to the topic of human right as they use the familiar topic of school to get students thinking.

Collection of materials dealing with Bilingual Education

This is a fantastic site for lesson plans, activities and teacher training. Very high quality materials and lots of ideas.

Teach yourself and teach others with the help of materials on the Website

Human Rights Watch is one of the world's leading independent organizations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. There is a lot of information here about what this organization does, the results, a lot of articles and videos. A good source to find materials for the lesson about human rights.

Very up to date ready-made reading, vocabulary and speaking activities. There is lots of material in each document so you probably won't have time / want to use it all. It's best to be selective! There are sometimes typos so it's important to check beforehand but it's an excellent source.
