Global RIghts Project - 2023 Annual Report - Produced at the University of Rhode Island by the Center for Nonviolence and Peace Studies. The report introduces Global RIghts Project (GRIP) grades, which assess each country in the world on its overall human rights practices. GRIP grades are based on the extent to which governments respect a suite of 25 physical integrity, empowerment, worker, and justice rights rights (see page 8 for a full list of rights that comprise GRIP grades). Numerical measures for each right are based on the CIRIGHTS dataset. Spotlights for the United States, COVID-19, Women’s Social Rights, and Human Rights NGO Freedom are included as well as a model predicting human rights.
