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. 517 1 $aDoing the Rights Thing 606 $aHuman rights$zAustralia 606 $aCivil rights$zAustralia 606 $aHuman rights movements$zAustralia 606 $aPressure groups$zAustralia 606 $aHuman rights workers$zAustralia$xPolitical activity 606 $aPolitical participation$zAustralia 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aCivil rights 615 0$aHuman rights movements 615 0$aPressure groups 615 0$aHuman rights workers$xPolitical activity. 615 0$aPolitical participation 676 $a323.0994 700 $aSpry$b Damien$0863103 712 02$aUniversity of Technology, Sydney.$bShopfront. 801 2$bNTSM 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910227351703321 996 $aDoing the Rights Thing: Approaches to Human Rights and Campaigning ?$92128538 997 $aUNINA
