FRAME: Quantitative analysis of factors hindering or enabling the protection of human rights
Different factors influence the protection of human rights. They are extensively discussed in work package 2. This report adds to previous deliverables by focusing on a quantitative analysis of factors hindering or enabling the protection of human rights at the country level.
It aims to explain variation between countries in terms of the protection of human rights. Although this kind of approach misses deep comprehension of the specifics of a given country, it offers a better understanding of how different factors influence the protection of human rights around the world, favouring a comparison between countries.
FRAME is a large-scale, interdisciplinary and collaborative research project funded under the EU’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7). The research focuses on the contribution of the EU’s internal and external policies to the promotion of human rights worldwide
In sum, this report identifies factors that influence the protection of human rights, such as democracy and ratification of treaties, and absence of war. The results are well aligned with previous studies and add new insights for how different combinations of conditions/factors can affect the protection of human rights.
