The Cingranelli-Richards Human Rights Data Project (CIRI) contains standards-based quantitative information on government respect for 15 internationally recognized human rights, for 195 countries annually from 1981-2007. It is designed for use by scholars and students who seek to test theories about the causes and consequences of human rights violations, as well as policy makers and analysts who seek to estimate the human rights effects of a wide variety of institutional changes and public policies including democratisation, economic aid, military aid, structural adjustment, and humanitarian intervention.
