Maplecroft releases human rights updates for twelve countries – Scorecards include analysis, scores and trends

A new batch of country scorecards featuring up-to-date quarterly analysis, scores and trends for human rights risks in twelve countries have been released by Maplecroft.

Maplecroft's Human Rights Quarterly Monitor offers up-to-date, one-page country risk scorecards for organisations with operations, supply chains, distribution networks and investments in countries that present high risk of human rights violations.

The Monitor includes quantitative country risk scores and trends for 24 separate human rights violations categories. Each violation category is rated as low, medium, high or extreme risk and is allocated a quarterly trend of increasing, stable or decreasing risk. These are supplemented by qualitative analysis of key recent events across four core risk areas: human security; labour rights and protection; civil and political rights; and access to remedy.

The new scorecards include territories that are key to the supply chains and operations of many multinationals:

• Algeria
• Brazil
• China
• DR Congo
• India
• Indonesia
• Niger Delta
• Pakistan
• Philippines
• Saudi Arabia
• Sri Lanka
• Viet Nam
