As shown by qualitative studies, treaty ratification has had a greatly uneven impact on human rights practices by governments. Quantitative studies correlating treaty ratification & government practices come to mixed results. Some claim that ratification does not significantly improve human rights practices, others argue that they do even though this can hardly be demonstrated by empirical analysis. It is against this backdrop that measuring human rights in principle, practice & as outcomes acquires a special significance -- guiding states as to monitoring for processes & results, & providing human rights actors, both domestic & international with an additional basis as to their policy strategies.
