English

Much effort has been made to develop international understandings of human rights without the corresponding attention to responsibilities. The authors argue that a community development framework may be useful in reconceiving human rights in a more holistic way, and that social workers and community development workers are well placed to be grassroots human rights workers.

French

Beaucoup d'efforts ont été déployés pour développer une compréhension internationale des droits humains sans accorder une attention correspondante aux responsabilités. Les auteurs considèrent qu'un cadre axé sur le développement communautaire serait utile pour réexaminer la question des droits humains de façon holistique. Ils démontrent que les travailleurs sociaux et les organisateurs communautaires sont bien placés pour devenir des travailleurs à ras du sol pour les droits humains.

Spanish

Se ha empleado mucho esfuerzo en desarrollar el entendimiento de los derechos humanos sin la atención correspondiente a las obligaciones. Se arguye que un marco de desarrollo comunitario puede ser útil en re-concebir los derechos humanos de una manera comprensiva, y que los trabajadores sociales y los trabajadores comunitarios pueden jugar un papel importante como trabajadores de base de derechos humanos.
