Country spotlights

The Human Rights Measurement Initiative (HRMI) is a global initiative tracking the human rights performances of countries.

All our human rights scores are publicly available on the Rights Tracker – take a look at your country!

To see how our human rights scores can be used in practice, to help explain what’s happening in a country, take a look at these articles written by HRMI team members. You are welcome to quote from these.
