"Confronting the outsourcing of social and economic violations requires a major reassessment of how human rights organizations should be constituted." (HUMANIST) The author discusses how "outsourcing has often been put to use to abdicate social and moral responsibility," noting how governments and transnational corporations use subcontractors which "make it extremely difficult to hold the violator legally accountable for the abuses it sanctions."
