When people contact a human rights lawyer, how do they think about and use human rights discourse? How are complaints turned into cases? Can administrative systems be both effective and fair? Defining Rights and Wrongs investigates the day-to-day practices of low-level officials and intermediaries as they construct domestic human rights complaints. It identifies the values that a human rights system should uphold if it is to promote mutual respect and foster the personal dignity and equal rights of citizens.Law and society series (Vancouver, B.C.)Human rightsCanadaHuman rightsOntarioComplaints (Administrative procedure)OntarioComplaints (Administrative procedure)CanadaHuman rightsOntarioCasesHuman rightsCanadaCasesAdministrative agenciesCanadaHuman rightsHuman rightsComplaints (Administrative procedure)Complaints (Administrative procedure)Human rightsHuman rightsAdministrative agencies353.4/80971Langer Rosanna L(Rosanna Lillian),1955-1521207MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910780516103321Defining rights and wrongs3760169UNINA
