This paper provides an introdution in human rights impact assessment. It particularly addresses the use of indicators in human rights impact assessment. It also gives an overview of challenges in human rights impact assessment.



This paper was prepared for NORAD’s Technical Division, Oslo, and submitted in June 2003. The paper summarizes lessons learnt during two workshops jointly organised in January 2003 by NORAD and the two Pakistani human rights organisations, Society for the Protection of the Rights of the Child (SPARC) and Human Rights Commission of Pakistan (HRCP). The discussions during these two workshops helped to draw conclusions and formulate recommendations presented in the paper.
