It challenges views that give authority exclusively to the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and reductionist views that take the subsequently framed body of international human rights law as sacrosanct suggesting this this is an incomplete and therefore insufficient view of human rights; that the struggle for human rights exists in historical, political and cultural contexts that may variously challenge or lend support to perspectives on human rights. The author presents three accounts to argue the case: a brief historical overview of human rights; a close reading of a key human rights organisation; and accounts from a recent human rights campaign in Australia. These examples suggest that smaller, nimbler campaign organisations, focused on concrete human rights outcomes, can strategically and successfully employ discourses that are designed to fit with the local political and cultural settings.Doing the Rights ThingHuman rightsAustraliaCivil rightsAustraliaHuman rights movementsAustraliaPressure groupsAustraliaHuman rights workersAustraliaPolitical activityPolitical participationAustraliaHuman rightsCivil rightsHuman rights movementsPressure groupsHuman rights workersPolitical activity.Political participation323.0994Spry Damien863103University of Technology, Sydney.Shopfront.NTSMBOOK9910227351703321Doing the Rights Thing: Approaches to Human Rights and Campaigning 2128538UNINA
