This past Labor Day, the organization Human Rights Watch published a report on the culture of impunity that reigns in a realm not normally associated with human rights abuses: the American workplace. Each year, the report shows, more than 20,000 workers in the U.S. are fired or subjected to other reprisals for attempting to organize a union. In recent years both Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch, which for decades focused exclusively on political and civil rights, have begun to address issues like child labor, gender discrimination and the impact of globalization in their reports. But while incorporating social and economic rights into the human rights agenda holds great promise, it also raises new challenges.
