1 Legalization and Leverage: How Foreign Aid Dependence Conditions the Effect of Human Rights Commitments Daniela Donno Assistant Professor Dept. of Political Science University of Pittsburgh
2 Research Question Under what conditions can external actors influence states human rights practices? Tools of influence: Legalization Human rights commitments Economic leverage Foreign aid dependence External relations of the European Union
3 Literature Human rights commitments Agreement design matters (c.f., Hafner-Burton 2005) But enforcement is rare Effect depends on domestic politics (c.f., Simmons 2009; Hathaway 2005) Variation in vulnerability to intl. pressure Foreign aid Greater political conditionality since end of Cold War (c.f., Dunning 2004; Lai 2003; Bearce and Tirone 2010) But: - Which types of human rights violations are punished? - How do international actors signal intent to exercise conditionality?
4 Argument Account for both: (1) Donor s incentives to enforce (2) Recipient s vulnerability Human rights commitments function as implicit threats Signal the possibility of enforcement by withholding economic benefits Supply of enforcement: Low Greater in responses to violations of political rights Cost of enforcement higher in aid-dependent states Hypothesis: human rights commitments are associated with improved human rights practices as the country s aid dependence increases
5 EU External Relations Economic cooperation agreements Association, Partnership, Cooperation Framework for promoting integration and trade; distributing aid Human rights clauses By 2005, more than 80% of non-oecd countries E.g., Cotonou Agreement, Article 9 (essential elements): Respect for human rights, democratic principles and the rule of law, which underpin the ACP-EU partnership, shall underpin the domestic and international policies of the Parties and constitute the essential elements of this Agreement. Article 96 (suspension): Failure to fulfill obligations can lead to consultations, followed by appropriate measures
6 EU Human Rights Enforcement in the African-Caribbean-Pacific Coups and elections provide focal points for evaluation Lomé/Cotonou Article 96 consultations 14 cases: coup or unconstitutional seizure of power 7 cases: flawed elections, violations of democratic norms Concerns about other rights may be bundled in E.g., Zimbabwe (2001-ongoing) Primary motivation: preparation for upcoming elections Dialogue also covered: political violence, illegal land occupation E.g., Liberia ( ) Lack of opposition activity in run-up to 2003 elections Human rights violations by security forces
