In additional to international frameworks governing human rights concerns, domestic laws may be relevant to your research. States often enact their own legislation governing human rights issues and/or protect certain rights in their constitutions, with domestic courts interpreting those laws. States may, too, implement human rights treaties via domestic lawmaking. For guidance regarding foreign legal research, see our Foreign Legal Research Guide.
