Abstract:
|
This paper considers the causes of international human rights violations. I consider the separate impact of ratification and signatory statuses of United Nations human rights on the level of recorded violations of human rights violations, discussing the variation in legal definitions translating into a different rate of compliance. Core UN human rights treaties, CIRI human rights violation database measures, refugee populations, and levels of US Foreign Assistance are all tested for influence on violations levels in 192 states during the times-pan of 1981-2006. This paper both updates previous studies and expands on definitions to explain violations of human rights on an international level. |
