Sinopsis

Human rights work takes place everywhere, every day, and in every way, but good intentions don't always bring the intended results.

Messy Ethics in Human Rights Work invites readers into a series of overlapping conversations, as activists, researchers, and others consider the complex messiness of ethics in practice and the implications for human rights work in academia and beyond. Although formal ethics guidelines can be useful, their focus on seeing the "messiness" as a problem rather than reality often misses the point. Human rights work entails intricate relationships of social, political, and economic power and responsibility that emerge only in the process of doing the work itself.

Contributors share their ethical dilemmas: How did they evaluate a situation and the options to resolve it? Where did or didn't they seek guidance? What would they do differently next time? This thoughtful work proposes that personal reflection and sometimes uncomfortable discussions are essential components of critical human rights practice.
