Human rights indicators are central to the application of human
rights standards in context and relate essentially to measuring
human rights realization, both qualitatively and quantitatively.
They offer an empirical or evidence-based dimension to the
normative content of human rights legal obligations and a provide
means of connecting those obligations with empirical data and
evidence, and in this way relate to human rights accountability and
the enforcement of human rights obligations. Human rights
indicators are important both for assessment and diagnostic
purposes: the assessment function of human rights indicators
relates to their use in monitoring accountability, effectiveness
and impact, while the diagnostic purposes relates to measuring the
current state of human rights implementation and enjoyment in a
given context, whether regional, country-specific or local. This
paper offers a preliminary review of the foregoing in the
development context, and a general perspective on the significance
of human rights indicators for development processes and outcomes.
It is not intended to be prescriptive and does not provide specific
operational recommendations on the use of human rights indicators
in development projects. Nor does it advocate a particular approach
or mode of integrating human rights in development, or argue for a
rights-based approach to development. This paper is designed to
provide development practitioners with a preliminary view on the
possible relevance, design and use of human rights indicators in
development policy and practice. It also introduces a basic
conceptual framework about the relationship between rights and
development, including in the World Bank context and surveys a
range of methodological approaches on human rights measurement,
exploring in general terms different types of human rights
indicators and their potential implications for development at
three different levels of convergence or integration.
