Description:

This research project examined the opinion of three key audiences on human rights in the U.S. as applied to social justice issues: the American public, social justice advocates not currently using the human rights approach, and journalists who regularly cover social issues.   While the research focuses on the domestic application of a human rights framework, the results and recommendations address international human rights mechanisms, including treaties and the UN, and may prove useful to all human rights advocates.
