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.
My topic is Violation of Human Rights in Peru (1980-2000). I found this lesson plan from a project in Austrailia. I would change this lesson plan slightly. Instead of people in" another country" I would ask my students instead to talk about Peruvian Andean people.
These are organized lesson plans for teaching human rights, once again aimed to be used in classroom usage. I have read most of the activities and I found that there are plenty of good examples, disscussions and group work activities that could be implemented without big efforts.

A lesson plan with the activities and audio about the refugees. It has variety of activities, there's also a downloadable audio and a text of the article. It can be used to compare the words "imigrant" and "refugee" and to talk about the problems of these groups.
This is a collection of sites where you can research human rights from different perspectives.

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.
Great resource to develop PBL projects expanding the learning process outside the classroom. It covers 5 topics: environment, poverty, discrimination, children's rights to education and health, and law and justice
No, I wouldn't use this lesson plan for my students. But, a similar one would be effective using vocab of musical terms in a crazy word block like the one Mr. Men uses. :)
Excellent site to start teaching our little children our rights as human beings. We can print out some of the exerpts they have and use them as reading exercises. Then, Have them worjk in groups, so they can act out their interpretation of the human right they read. Else, we can also follow the lesson plan they have in the site. hope it is useful.
