12. Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1999 [Excel]
http://www.state.gov/www/global/human_rights/99hrp_index.html

The US State Department released its annual Country Reports on Human
Rights Practices to the US Congress on February 25. Composed from
evidence and data gathered by embassy staff, government officials,
military sources, human-rights monitors, journalists, and others, the
reports are designed to serve as a tool for shaping policy,
conducting diplomacy, and determining international resource
allocations. Reports are offered for nearly every country, grouped by
region. Each report contains a brief overview of the country's
political and economic systems and a detailed review of its record on
respecting "internationally recognized individual, civil, political,
and worker rights, as set forth in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights." Appendixes include a list of International Human Rights
Conventions, the 54th UNHRC (UN Commission on Human Rights) Voting
Record, and the text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
