This article examines strategies used by human rights advocates to lobby for policy at intergovernmental organizations. We suggest that the literatures’ central questions are about how best to organize, connect, and communicate, which are usually seen through theory on transnational advocacy networks and framing. We add that these questions should be seen as gendered, given the continued male dominance within diplomatic corps. With unusual access to their strategy, we conduct a case study of one advocate’s successful campaign to get the United Nations to adopt a country-specific resolution. Like others, we found this campaigning relies upon the use of networks to overcome formal obstacles to access, human rights language to frame the problem, analysis of tally sheets of member states’ voting, and in-person lobbying. We also point out strategies key to their success that are not usually noticed by scholars, such as the gendered dynamics that get advocates in the door.

人权倡导者如何影响联合国的政策

本文考察了人权倡导者在政府间组织中为政策游说所使用的策略。我们认为文献的核心问题是关于如何最好地组织、联系和交流，这通常通过跨国倡导网络和框架的理论来看待。我们补充说，鉴于外交使团中男性仍占主导地位，这些问题应被视为性别问题。凭借对他们的战略的不同寻常的访问，我们对一位倡导者成功地促使联合国通过针对特定国家的决议的运动进行了案例研究。与其他人一样，我们发现这种竞选活动依赖于使用网络来克服正式的访问障碍、用人权语言来构建问题、对成员国投票的统计表进行分析以及面对面的游说。
