The 2011 Human Rights report deals with Estonia’s development in nearly all rights contained in the European Convention on Human Rights. Some areas  didn’t experience mentionable changes or developments in 2010. That is also the reason why there are no chapters regarding these rights in this report.

Developments that took place in the field of human rights in Estonia in 2011 are described, analysed, illustrated by positive and negative examples as well as criticised, but not only that – specific recommendations for eliminating the shortcomings are also provided. Although each chapter has an author or authors, the report aims to provide a coherent overview of developments in human rights in Estonia as a whole.

Anybody can contribute to compiling of the next year’s human rights report – human rights cases or notifications of specific violations are welcome at the email address aastaaruanne@humanrights.ee all year round.

Feedback and proposals regarding the 2010 Human Rights Report are also welcome at the same email address.

The publication of the report was supported by Open Estonia Foundation and Ministry of Culture.
