Yet some governments continue to get away with human rights violations despite mobilizations against them. In Human Rights and State Security: Indonesia and the Philippines, Anja Jetschke considers the impact of transnational human rights advocacy on the process of human rights reform and democratization in two countries that have been successful in resisting international human rights pressure. Jetschke details the effects of campaigns waged by international and domestic NGO's, foreign governments, local opposition leaders, and international organizations. She argues that the literature on transnational advocacy overlooks the ability of governments to justify and excuse human rights violations in their public dialogue with human rights organizations. Describing efforts of international and domestic human rights advocates to protect the rights of various groups, the case studies in this book suggest that governments successfully block or evade pressures if they invoke threats to state security. Jetschke finds that state security puts into play a set of powerful international norms related to sovereignty-a state's right to territorial integrity, the secular organization of the state, or a government's lack of control over the means of organized violence. If governments frame persuasive arguments around these norms, they can effectively mobilize competing domestic and international groups and trump human rights advocacy. Human Rights and State Security shows that the content and arguments on behalf of human rights matter and provide opportunities for both governments and civil society organizations to advance their agendas.Pennsylvania studies in human rights.Human rights advocacyIndonesiaHuman rights advocacyPhilippinesHuman rightsIndonesiaHuman rightsPhilippinesInternational and municipal lawIndonesiaInternational and municipal lawPhilippinesHuman Rights.Law.Political Science.Public Policy.Human rights advocacyHuman rights advocacyHuman rightsHuman rightsInternational and municipal lawInternational and municipal law323.09598Jetschke Anja1467619MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910788581703321Human rights and state security3678350UNINA
