| Tiivistelmä: | This article tests the hypothesis that the United States biases its human rights reports of countries based on the latters' strategic value. The difference between the U.S. State Department's and Amnesty International's reports is used as a measure of U.S. "bias". This bias is compared between U.S. Cold War (CW) allies to non-CW allies before and after the CW ended. The results indicate that allying with the U.S. during the CW significantly improved reports on a country's human rights situation from the U.S. State Department relative to Amnesty International. |
