Accountability for past human rights violations in South Asia

本项目旨在解释南亚对追究侵犯人权行为责任的要求的反应。各国的反应各不相同，而且往往不符合认为侵犯行为的肇事者应对其行为负责的全球规范。本项目将为这些反应提供理论依据的实证解释。预期的好处包括加强证据基础，为澳大利亚政策制定者、国际机构和寻求解决南亚全球人权规范的非营利组织提供信息。

This project aims to explain South Asian responses to requests seeking accountability for violations of human rights. State responses are variable and often inconsistent with global norms which hold that perpetrators of violations should be held accountable for their actions. This project will develop a theoretically-informed empirical explanation for these responses. Expected benefits include an enhanced evidence base to inform Australian policymakers, international agencies and non-profit organisations seeking to address global norms of human rights in South Asia.
