Abstract

Daily decisions taken by public service professionals such as social workers may directly impact their client’s rights, especially if they are working in a law and policy context that is questionable in human rights terms. This article takes a novel approach by exploring what human rights roles are attributed to public service professionals by United Nations (UN) Treaty Bodies and UN Special Rapporteurs. The analysis reveals that the narrow conceptualization of human rights roles offered by (interpretations of) international human rights law may in fact diminish the potential of public service professionals to make a real contribution to human rights realization.

作为人权行动者的公共服务专业人员：社会工作者的定位

公共服务专业人员（如社会工作者）的日常决策可能会直接影响其服务对象的权利，尤其是当他们工作的法律和政策环境在人权方面存在问题时。本文采用一种新颖的方法，探讨了联合国条约机构和联合国特别报告员赋予公共服务专业人员的人权角色。分析表明，国际人权法（解释）对人权作用的狭隘概念化实际上可能会削弱公共服务专业人员为实现人权做出真正贡献的潜力。
