American Psychological Association Final Report
This Final Report, published by the APA Task Force on Human Rights, advises the American Psychological Association on integrating human rights into its organizational framework. The report defines human rights in relation to psychology, reviews the Association's past activities, and proposes a 'Five Connections' analytical framework. Key recommendations include aligning APA's ethics, governance, and programmatic activities with human rights principles, making human rights central to the Ethics Code, implementing systematic human rights trainings, conducting periodic human rights assessments, prioritizing human rights advocacy, and promoting human rights education and research in psychology. The goal is to ensure a visible and ongoing commitment to human rights across all aspects of APA's work.
