The development practitioners who author this volume aim to contribute to a greater common understanding of the rights-based approach. This volume also seeks to examine what differences a rights-based approach makes in practice. The authors themselves have concrete experience in trying to apply this approach to their work, and this helps in understanding how this approach alters the practical work of development, the possible difficulties that arise, and the value of using such an approach. It also addresses the range of development areas influenced by this approach such as humanitarian relief and conflict resolution and examines the contemporary challenges faced during the implementation of such an approach.
