States' Human Rights Records Under Scrutiny: Diplomats' Role in Upholding Rights
The chapter discusses how diplomats play a crucial role in upholding human rights on an international level. Every country in the UN has committed to protecting human rights, and their actions in this regard can affect their reputation and relationships with other countries. Diplomats are increasingly expected to speak out against human rights violations, even if they are not committed against their own citizens. They are also required to address any allegations of human rights abuses made against their government.
