This project seeks to address one of the most challenging problems in the international human rights system - that of unequal access to human rights justice. It looks at the outcomes of 100,000 international, regional, and domestic human rights cases and identifies who is able to turn to human rights bodies and which individuals and groups are unsuccessful in making their claims. By identifying barriers that restrict access and examining the role of international lawyers in the process, the project makes a significant advance in the study of inequities in international law. It builds on insights from social psychologists and behavioural economists to introduce a pioneering new framework through which the existence and operation of bias against human rights victims can be analysed systematically. By looking at implicit, geographical, and structural legal bias, the project aims to understand the cause of access disparities so that legal processes and existing structures can be redesigned to ensure equal access to human rights justice for everyone. The project adopts a highly original mixed-methods approach. It builds on a large dataset of the case law of fifteen human rights bodies and more than 300 interviews in ten jurisdictions to quantitatively and qualitatively analyse how victims' characteristics influence the success of their human rights claims. For the first time in human rights, it marries in-person experiments with computer simulation to understand the dynamics of access to justice and to discover how new international rules and other bias-mitigating interventions could be used to break the bias. The findings of the project will make an important contribution to several academic fields, shining a new light on how we understand and study access to justice, whilst the solutions proposed can importantly help international courts and tribunals impart equal justice for all.

该项目旨在解决国际人权体系中最具挑战性的问题之一，即获得人权正义的问题。它着眼于100,000个国际，地区和国内人权案件的结果，并确定能够转向人权机构的人，哪些个人和团体在提出主张方面都没有成功。通过确定限制访问权限并检查国际律师在此过程中的作用的障碍，该项目在研究国际法的不平等研究方面取得了重大进步。它以社会心理学家和行为经济学家的见解为基础，引入了一个开创性的新框架，可以系统地分析对人权受害者的偏见的存在和运作。通过查看隐式，地理和结构性法律偏见，该项目旨在了解访问差异的原因，以便可以重新设计法律程序和现有结构，以确保为所有人提供平等的人权正义。该项目采用了高度原始的混合方法方法。它建立在15个人权机构的判例法和十个司法管辖区的300多次访谈的基础上，以定量分析受害者的特征如何影响其人权主张的成功。它首次在人权方面，它与计算机模拟的面对面实验结合，以了解司法通道的动态，并发现如何使用新的国际规则和其他偏见减轻干预措施来破坏偏见。该项目的发现将为几个学术领域做出重要贡献，对我们如何理解和研究司法的机会有了新的启示，而拟议的解决方案可以帮助国际法院和法庭为所有人提供平等的正义。
