Illustrating the Framework Indicators for Some Rights In today’s world where we are continuously facing the challenge of investigating and analysing human rights abuses in complex contexts, statistics can help enormously towards an understanding of the scope and magnitude of these phenomena as well as, and this is very important, to prevent future atrocities.

It focuses on the common considerations that have shaped the different tables and provides examples of the reasoning behind the selection of attributes of a human right and the corresponding cluster of indicators.
