The Global RIghts Project (GRIP) draws upon the world’s largest quantitative human rights database to create an annual report on global human rights practices. The GRIP annual report grades each nation of the world according to its respect for a suite of 24 representative human rights. Measures for each right are drawn from the CIRIGHTS Data Project, which aims to measure every human right in every country on an ongoing basis.
Our Goals:
- Provide policymakers, NGOs, journalists, and others with objective information about human rights practices worldwide.
- Deepen our understanding of the factors that predict better or worse human rights practices while tracking trends over time.
- Involve students in textual analysis and other techniques used to objectively measure human rights.
