Impact of human rights organizations on naming and shaming camp / Meernik, James; Aloisi, Rosa; Sowell, Marsha; Nichols, Angela   Journal Article
Meernik, James Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2012.
Summary/Abstract Given the myriad of human rights abuses that occur globally and daily, why are some nations on the receiving end of a substantial amount of international opprobrium, while others receive far less attention and condemnation? The authors contend that the increasing presence of human rights organizations in such states is the critical link between the local and the international. Increases in the number of such groups contributes significantly to the generation of Amnesty International urgent actions, one of the most-often-utilized tools in naming and shaming campaigns against human rights abusing regimes. The authors find strong support for nearly all their hypotheses.

Impact of international tribunals and domestic trials on peace / Meernik, James D; Nichols, Angela; King, Kimi L   Journal Article
Meernik, James D Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Publication 2010.
Summary/Abstract We analyze whether international criminal tribunals and domestic human rights trials can play an important role in peacebuilding in post-conflict societies. Advocates and scholars argue that by providing justice and truth, helping to remove war criminals and peace spoilers from their societies, and by contributing to deterrence, these institutions contribute to improvements in human rights and the maintenance of peace. Other scholars assert that few such beneficial effects have occurred. We test the impact of international tribunals and domestic trials on the recurrence of civil war and human rights improvements in states that have emerged from civil war since 1982. The evidence regarding their beneficial impacts is fairly clear, however, and suggests that while domestic human rights trials and international tribunals do not exercise any negative effects, they do not appear to contribute to reducing the recurrence of civil war or improvements in human rights practices.
