Extending Human Rights Atlas

项目摘要

This project is a continuation of the ESRC-funded follow-on project Human Rights Atlas (ES/J000728/1) which has collated data on basic country statistics, legal comitments and human rights practices for all the countries and territories in the world for the period 1981 to 2011 [www.humanrightsatlas.org]. The continuation phase involves updating of the data in the main flat file and actively disseminating the Atlas to a primary user group in Latin America; assisting the user group in using the Atlas to map and analyse human rights issues in Latin America for the period 1990 to 2011; and working with two private organisations - The Mackman Group and the Thomson Reuters Foundation - to continue to raise awareness about the Atlas. The Latin American user group is being coordinated by the Faculty of Social Sciences in Mexico City (FLACSO), which is mapping human rights in the region and identifying gaps in knowledge about human rights using comparative statistical indicators of the kind already collated in the Human Rights Atlas. The work involves a workshop in Mexico City with FLACSO and its network of its researchers. The region itself had undergone remarkable and dramatic political transformations over the period envisaged for this study, including extraction from prolonged periods of authoritarianism, processes of transitional justice, re-establishment and consolidation of democracy, structural adjustment and macro-economic recovery, and rapid economic development among big regional actors such as Mexico, Brazil, Argentina and Chile. The Atlas provides a systematic resource that addresses the main data needs of this research network. The second main part of the project is to work with the Mackman Group (a private sector partner in the original Human Rights Atlas project) and the Thomson Reuters Foundation (the charitable fundation of the global media company Thomson Reuters) to disseminate the Atlas resource and raise awareness about cross-national human rights indicators for a wide range of users, including key organisations from the public and private sectors. This part of the project will take advantage of the Mackman Group's marketing technologies and Thomson Reuters' AlertNet resource, which is dedicated to the humanitarian sector around the world. In addition to the on-line promotional work, the project will also host a large London-based user engagement event hosted by Thomson Reuters in its Canary Wharf facility. This event will feature high profile global leaders from the humanitarian sector to discuss the needs of users for systematic data and data visualisation of the kind carried out by the original Atlas project.

该项目是 ESRC 资助的后续项目人权地图集 (ES/J000728/1) 的延续，该项目整理了世界上所有国家和地区的基本国家统计数据、法律承诺和人权实践数据，以供1981 年至 2011 年期间 [www. humanrightsatlas.org]。延续阶段包括更新主平面文件中的数据，并向拉丁美洲的主要用户组积极传播地图集；协助用户组利用地图集绘制和分析1990年至2011年期间拉丁美洲的人权问题；并与麦克曼集团和汤森路透基金会这两个私人组织合作，继续提高人们对地图集的认识。拉丁美洲用户小组正在由墨西哥城社会科学学院 (FLACSO) 进行协调，该学院正在绘制该地区的人权状况，并利用《人权》中已整理的比较统计指标来确定人权知识方面的差距。阿特拉斯.这项工作涉及与 FLACSO 及其研究人员网络在墨西哥城举办的研讨会。在本研究设想的时期内，该地区本身经历了显着而戏剧性的政治变革，包括摆脱长期独裁主义、过渡时期司法进程、重建和巩固民主、结构调整和宏观经济复苏以及快速经济复苏。墨西哥、巴西、阿根廷和智利等区域大国的发展。该地图集提供了一个系统资源，可以满足该研究网络的主要数据需求。该项目的第二个主要部分是与麦克曼集团（原人权阿特拉斯项目的私营部门合作伙伴）和汤森路透基金会（全球媒体公司汤森路透的慈善基金会）合作，传播阿特拉斯资源和提高广大用户（包括公共和私营部门的主要组织）对跨国人权指标的认识。该项目的这一部分将利用麦克曼集团的营销技术和汤森路透的 AlertNet 资源，该资源致力于世界各地的人道主义部门。除了在线宣传工作外，该项目还将在其金丝雀码头设施中举办由汤森路透主办的伦敦大型用户参与活动。此次活动将邀请来自人道主义领域的全球知名领导人讨论用户对原始 Atlas 项目所执行的系统数据和数据可视化的需求。
