 abstract = {Much humanitarian work involves persuading other actors to address humanitarian concerns. Individual activists do this through their advocacy, just as international organizations lobby national governments to take action. Alongside this work, humanitarian professionals elaborate vocabularies to justify and empower their advocacy, design strategies for persuasion, and struggle to strengthen their advocacy institutions. These activities are also a form of policy making. International humanitarians argue with one another about how their tools should develop, about which rights to promote, which violations to stress, and about which procedures work best or how international institutions might best be restructured.Humanitarian policy making often},
