Målsättningen för uppsatsen har varit att ifrågasätta det allmänmänskliga i mänskliga rättigheter, att problematisera en rättighetsidé som marknadsförs av bland annat FN, och som inom internationella relationer framställs som självskriven. Teorier om universalism och relativism har utgjort ramen, medan tre människorättsorganisationer ? Human Rights Center Viasna, Civil Rights Defenders och Amnesty International ? har fungerat som analysenheter. Organisationerna har undersökts genom de framställningar de gjort av MR-situationen i Vitryssland, närmare bestämt i form av nyhetsartiklar om tre samtida politiska händelser.Frågeställningarna fokuserade på allmängiltigheten i organisationernas MR-bild, deras inställning till europeiska och västerländska regelverk och aktörer, samt hur deras egen bakgrund eventuellt inverkar i arbetet. Resultaten visar att organisationerna jobbar universalistiskt, att de har globala preferenser snarare än europeiska, och att de i allt väsentligt arbetar opåverkade av sin kontext.Visserligen bör resultaten sättas i relation till den begränsade undersökningen, vilken kanske främst kan visa tendenser, men de unika dragen i forskningsområdet är inte att förglömma.

The purpose of this study is to research into the role of the citizen and the educational system in Sweden throughout periods of time based on previous theoretic works, and also to deepen the understanding of students with special needs in Swedish education focusing on the primary school years.
