This book uses a practice-driven and empirically founded approach
to address the question of whether and how international attention
can protect and enable domestic human rights activists in
authoritarian settings. It examines the untold origin story of the
‘human rights defender’ term and its uptake among international
advocacy organizations, which coalesced with the rise of a theory
of human rights change centered around the support for local
actors. Rich with analyses of original qualitative and quantitative
data, the author spells out this theory of change and tests its
assumptions in two case studies: the individual casework of the UN
special procedures, and the case of Tunisia under Ben Ali. This
book is of key interest to scholars and students of human rights,
of the United Nations, and more broadly of international relations
and politics in general, and to practitioners working with human
rights defenders at risk.
