This volume constitutes a substantial contribution to the elaboration of the parameters of the professional identity of the human rights field officer. The book constructs normative and prescriptive frameworks for field work looking at the construction and justification of professional guidance. The focus is on the specific responsibilities of the individual human rights officer allowing the book to concentrate on issues of professionalism and to have relevance beyond the confines of the United Nations or any other specific organization. This book is unique in its scope and ambition. It makes a significant contribution to the construction of a new profession.
