Abstract

The work on indicators at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) was initiated at the request of the Inter-committee meeting of the human rights treaty bodies to help them make use of statistical information in states parties’ reports in assessing the implementation of human rights. OHCHR undertook an extensive survey of literature and prevalent practices among national and international organisations on the use of quantitative information in monitoring human rights (see Fasel and Malhotra, 2005). Having taken stock of the state of the art, steps were taken to develop a conceptual and methodological framework, in consultation with a panel of experts, for identifying operationally feasible human rights indicators. The first outline of the framework was presented to the Inter-committeemeeting of human rights treaty bodies in June 2006 (see UN-HRI, 2006b).
