Human Rights and Work : Towards Rights-Based Practice

Bibliographic Details
Main Author: Ife J. Jim
Summary:This book argues that incorporating the idea of three 'generations' of human rights allows us to move beyond the limitations of conventional legal frameworks. It examines current human rights issues and shows how a broader understanding of human rights can be used to ground a form of practice that is central to social work, community development and broader human services. The argument extends the idea of human rights beyond the realm of theoretical analysis and into the arena of professional practice and social action. This is set within the context of current debates about globalisation and the need to incorporate an internationalist viewpoint into all social work practice. This illuminating study adds a vital new perspective to the challenge of promoting international human rights. Jim Ife is Professor of Social Work and Social Policy at Curtin University of Technology, Perth, Western Australia, and secretary of the Human Rights Commission of the International Federation of Social Workers. Previously he was Professor of Social Work and Social Policy at the University of Western Australia and is also a former president of Amnesty International Australia. His other publications include Community Development (2nd edition, 2001) and Rethinking Social Work: Towards Critical Practice (1997).
