Collaborative Research: Examining Compliance with Rights Regimes

标题：合作研究：检查遵守权利法规的情况摘要：保护人权，包括妇女权利，是全球经济发展、社会进步和促进和平的基石。虽然许多国际机构都在寻求保护妇女的权利，但这些机构是否、何时以及如何有效地保护妇女？S的权利尚不清楚。了解政治领导人和公民围绕国际妇女权利法律和机构进行动员的进程，对于提高这些机构的效力至关重要。因此，该项目将侧重于各国遵守有关妇女权利问题的国际人权裁决和建议。该项目将审查欧洲人权法院、联合国消除对妇女歧视委员会和联合国普遍定期审议委员会就妇女权利问题向欧洲国家下达的裁决和建议。此外，这项研究还将借鉴丹麦、荷兰、挪威和西班牙的采访和案例研究，这些国家都有强大的民主制度，但对国际妇女权利机构的建议的遵守程度各不相同。该项目将创建和传播一个关于妇女权利建议的新数据集--妇女权利建议数字数据库，该数据库将用于一系列统计测试，以确定影响遵守国际妇女权利建议的因素？S。数据库、统计分析、访谈和案例研究将提供对影响妇女权利机构有效性的宏观因素的洞察，以及遵守国际妇女权利建议背后的过程。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Title: Collaborative Research: Examining Compliance with Rights RegimesAbstract: The protection of human rights, including women's rights, is a cornerstone of economic development, social progress, and the promotion of peace around the globe. While numerous international institutions seek to protect women's rights, it remains unclear if, when, and how these institutions can effectively safeguard women?s rights. Understanding the processes by which political leaders and citizens mobilize around international women's rights laws and institutions is critical for improving the efficacy of these institutions. Accordingly, this project will focus on state compliance with international human rights rulings and recommendations on women's rights issues.This project will examine the rulings and recommendations of the European Court of Human Rights, the UN Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women, and the UN Universal Periodic Review that are handed down to European states on issues of women's rights. As well, the research will draw on interviews and case studies in Denmark, The Netherlands, Norway, and Spain, each of which has strong democratic institutions but varying levels of compliance with international women's rights institutions' recommendations. The project will create and disseminate a new dataset on women's rights recommendations, the Women's Rights Recommendation Digital Database, which will be used for a battery of statistical tests to identify the factors that affect compliance with international women?s rights recommendations. The database, statistical analyses, interviews, and case studies will provide insight into the macro-level factors that impact the effectiveness of women's rights institutions and the processes behind compliance with international women's rights recommendations.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
