Carr Center for Human Rights Policy

The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy, based at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, uses its research capacity to evaluate the human rights policies of the United States and other governments and to analyze the dilemmas that need to be resolved when human rights principles are brought to bear on major public policy choices.

The Carr Center for Human Rights Policy  maintains a programme focused on measurement and human rights, designed to bring evidence-based policy and programming to the realm of human rights. The programme undertakes research on human rights measurement.
