The Human Rights Atlas, 2012 dataset was created for the ESRC-funded Human Rights Atlas Project. It brings together more than 240 different measures of economic, social, political, and legal life for more than 200 different countries across the world.

Using published data from the World Bank, the United Nations, academics, non-governmental organisations and the other bodies, the atlas gives a picture of the lives and rights of human beings over a 30-year period from 1981 onwards.
