Human Rights Violations Case Study

A Human Rights Violations Case Study is a detailed examination of a specific incident or pattern of human rights abuses, typically based on a combination of legal analysis, field research, and victim and witness testimony. The case study may include a description of the facts and circumstances of the violation, an analysis of the relevant legal standards and obligations, and an assessment of the impact on victims and communities. Human rights violations case studies may be conducted by human rights organizations, academic researchers, or other experts in human rights investigation and documentation, and may be used to support legal or policy advocacy efforts, to raise public awareness and concern, or to promote accountability and redress for victims. They are an important tool for deepening understanding of the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to human rights violations, and for informing evidence-based approaches to human rights protection and promotion.
