The mission of social work is rooted in a set of core principles and values such as dignity, integrity, and social justice and is aligned with the field of Human Rights. Whereas law is defined as a set of rules which guide our conduct in a society and are enforceable through institutions, the legal profession depends on the principles of human conduct and moral decision making, which may not always enjoy recognition in law.

The pressing global crises as well as domestic social problems confronting social workers across the countries are of multidimensional, multidisciplinary, and transnational nature. Today, more than ever before, social workers require deeper levels of understanding and novel models of practice if they are to contribute effectively in resolving the social
problems that are rooted in global, social, political, legal and economic realities.
