Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: What are human rights? Why do countries violate human rights? How can human rights be better promoted and protected? Landman (2004: 204) shows that these three inter-related questions have motivated scholars from many disciplines in the field of human rights. One possibility to answer these questions is comparative politics. But most of the comparative analysis can be distinguished into comparing many countries or in comparing few countries in order to answer the above mentioned questions; mostly comparative politics “forget” regional protection systems as important area of research.The paper will focus on regional protection systems: Europe and the Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms by the Council of Europe and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, America and the American Convention of Human Rights by the Organization of American States and Africa and the African Charter on Human and Peoples’s Rights. Regional protection systems seem to be important to answer the third question. Regional protection systems can be one detail to promote and protect human rights because the member states are forced to implement common, regional standards as a consequence of the binding effect of international law. The reasons why to develop regional systems of human rights protection seems to be quite simple: regional systems are functioning better. Smith (2003: 84) found out three criteria for this thesis: effectiveness, accessibility and enforceability. These criteria oversee the legal and political framework for the better functioning: the regional international organization. International Organization theories seem to be fruitful to explain the foundation and development of regional protection of human rights. The paper attempts to build bridges by bringing human rights, comparative politics, international law and international organization theory together.
