Support your position and discourse with reasoning and/or examples from readings, studies, experience, or observations. Many human rights professionals are reluctant to call their work diplomacy, and find “human rights diplomacy” an uncomfortable oxymoron that links two fundamentally different areas of human endeavour. The roots of the discomfort run deep. Diplomacy is traditionally understood as the cool- headed pursuit of national interests, where principles and morality can, and in some cases should, be left aside or compromised, a dispassionate exercise of realpolitik at the international level. Meanwhile, human rights work has always been about ideals and values, driven by passion and indignation over injustice. In recent decades, however, there has been a convergence of the two disparate areas of work.
