The chapter addresses the role of social evaluation in the systematization of public value and documents the adoption and implementation of public policy for human rights. Public policy with a human rights approach arises from a political, legal, and institutional acknowledgment of the social subject. It is an intricate process, part of global discussions about how to reconfigure economic, cultural, and social policy and the administration of justice. Its complexity involves multiple dimensions and organizational and institutional processes as they occur with any other government or state policy (Mény & Thoenig, 1992). ©Wiley Periodicals, Inc., and the American Evaluation Association.
