ABSTRACT

The objective of this paper is to revive the fundamental premiseof the human rights advocacy at the end of the Secondary WorldWar and to provide an alternative approach to the current prevailingapproach for the realization of human rights. By interrogating theUnited Nations’ early endorsement of the ‘conditions’ for humanrights and a human rights-friendly social and international order, thepaper identifies several dimensions which comprise these conditions. Although human rights advocates generally understand and supportthe notion that human rights is best realized through the optimumsynthesis of the conventional standard-implementation work and thecondition-formation work, they tend to shy away from this approachon grounds of its presumed abstractness and difficulty in utilizingthem in practical terms. However, the paper argues that there aresome feasible ways for the human rights advocacy work to shapethe ‘conditions’ for the realization of human rights. The essayconcludes that human rights movement and research should pursuean integrative approach to overcome the limitation associated withthe conventional judicial justice-oriented approach for human rights.
