Human Rights Atlas

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

Our project proposes to create a unique web-based human rights atlas that provides basic country statistics, data on legal commitments and organisational membership, and measures on a wide range of human rights protection that goes beyond existing data resources. The atlas will allow users to generate customised output on countries of interest, compare the performance of countries against one another and to examine time series trends in country performance. The project is designed in phases that move from the provision of basic data, advanced data and reporting, to specialised and bespoke country analysis. The project follows on from ongoing work of the PI (Professor Todd Landman) who has extensive experience researching human rights measurement over many years (and has data sets upon which to build the current project) and the Co-I (Dr Andrew Fagan)'s research for an Atlas of Human Rights in book form (2010). Funding is sought for the first phase of the project which will collect existing data and create the online Atlas.
