Using Statistics to Uncover Human Rights Violations

The Human Rights Data Analysis Group , which used to be incubated under AAAS has just released a study they did on the analysis of the human rights violation datasets from Timor-Leste. I'm poring over their paper right now

The Profile of Human Rights Violations in Timor-Leste, 1974-1999
A Report by the Benetech Human Rights Data Analysis Group to the Commission on Reception, Truth and Reconciliation of Timor-Leste
The actual datasets are available for download as well. I encourage you to check them out(zipped CSV files):

the graveyard census database, called the Graveyard Census Database (GCD)
the fatal violations data from the Retrospective Mortality Survey (RMS)
the Multiple Systems Estimation (MSE) data file
