For example, the Human Rights Data Project contains standards-based quantitative information on government practices for a wide range of internationally-recognized human rights, primarily drawing from the US Department of State and Amnesty International reports. http://www.humanrightsdata.com/p/faq.html http://www.humanrightsdata.com/p/data-documentation.html THE BEST & WORST OF 2010 http://www.humanrightsdata.com/2011/12/human-rights-in-2010-ciri-report.html All 14 of CIRI’s individual indicators of particular human rights can be summed into an overall human rights score. The best score a country can receive is 30.
