Human rights education is one of the issues receiving much attention around the world as well as in Taiwan. As Taiwan is at the beginning stage of implementing human rights education in schools, it is necessary for us to learn from theorists and practitioners in other countries where human rights education has been implemented for a longer time. Hence, this article aims to conduct a comparative study on international human rights materials. The results may help the practitioners to develop their own teaching materials on human rights. Methods used in this study are the Content Analysis and Literature Analysis. This paper adopts international comparative and critical approach. Overall, the findings can be summarized as follows: 1. parents play an important role in human rights education; 2. the specific historical and geographical factors are decisive in human rights education; 3. the minority rights are significant in human rights education; 4. there are universal values and concepts in human rights education; and 5. the implementation of human rights education does not depend on acquisition of knowledge. In the final section, the authors make suggestions based on the above findings: 1. development of human rights curriculum should include global perspective; 2. contemporary human rights issues should be included as parts of curriculum; 3. historical and geographical contextual elements should be considered in the process of developing curriculum; and 4. means, instruments, and methods of teaching and learning human rights should be diverse.
