This module focuses on SDG 16 which aims to “promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.” The framing stories include the rule of law in Rwanda, international criminal procedures to protect cultural sites in Mali, international prosecution of a militia leader from the Democratic Republic of Congo, and the measures taken in El Salvador to address gang violence. The activities include case study analysis, engaging with an external speaker, and carrying out a community needs assessment. This module and its activities allow students at the 10th grade level to see what the United Nations as well as other peacekeeping groups have done to fight injustice and strive for efficient, inclusive government.
