Even from this perspective social work will continue to be in the nature of an interventive action for the enhancement of the social functioning of individuals and groups. It will achieve this end through helping individuals and communities to grapple with problems of change at the social and psychological levels. But, this perspective will lead social work beyond its confines. It will additionally identify and promote values and practices necessary for the realisation of human rights through the use of means which are consistent with the rights of other individuals and groups. While this position is not unacceptable to social workers and will not appear new in its orientation, it has the advantage of clarifying what the moorings and long-term objectives of social work are. It will disturb the complaisance of the individual social worker who may be tempted to acquiesce in the values of the local community even they conflict with the broader sympathies of the profession. It will require and compel the organised profession to take clear positions on social issues. As distances are reduced by the development of faster means of communication, we are going to be faced with the fact that the world is peopled by many races that speak many languages. In the midst of a plurality of cultures and values there will be need for affirmation of one acceptable common denominator. The Declaration of Human Rights provides this necessary standard and direction to all constructive action. Within the limitations imposed by the need for constructive action this perspective will give social work a role to play in societies which are economically advanced as well as those which are economically backward and societies which have generally accepted the values articulated in the Declaration of Human Rights and those which have not. This exploration into the relationship between human rights and social work was begun in a tentative mood. I have tried to suggest that the relationship between human rights and social work can be understood better if we have an appreciation of the extent of value commitment to human rights which is characteristic of a society and its ability to transcribe this commitment into a programme of action. This commitment and ability to transcribe it into action may vary not only from society to society but even between groups in one society and with respect to different facets of the declaration of human rights. This varying equation between commitment and ability (or viability) provides one of the major determinants for the type of social work practice that will emerge or stabilise itself. And since this equation is a varying one our concept of the nature of social work will have to be broad enough to provide for the variations in practice.
