註釋

This paper questions security justifications for human rights violations by testing the hypothesis that these violations, including government-sponsored indiscriminate killings, systematic torture, disappearances, and wide-scale imprisonment, are positively correlated with increased conflict. Regression analyses of 141 countries suggest that these violations are, in fact, significantly associated with conflict. However, the size of the relationship is extremely small. Gaps and inadequacies in the data prevent countries with the most conflict as well as those with the most widespread human rights abuses from being included in the study, which indicates that additional information is needed.
