Human rights in Latvia : ウィキペディア英語版 | Human rights in Latvia
Human rights in Latvia are generally respected by the government, according to the US Department of State and Freedom House.〔〔 Latvia is ranked above-average among the world's sovereign states in democracy,〔 press freedom,〔 privacy〔 and human development.〔 The country has a large ethnic Russian community, which has basic rights guaranteed under the constitution and international human rights laws ratified by the Latvian government.〔〔 However, human rights organisations have reported multiple problems. Especially non-citizens – including stateless persons – suffer from limited or no access to a broad range of rights. Also there were problems with police abuse of detainees and arrestees, poor prison conditions and overcrowding, judicial corruption, discrimination against women, incidents of violence against ethnic minorities, and societal violence and incidents of government discrimination against homosexuals.〔〔〔 ==Latvia in the international human rights system==
As of end-2014, European Court of Human Rights has delivered 100 judgments in cases against Latvia (beginning from 2001); in 83 cases, it has found violations of the European Convention on Human Rights or its protocols.〔(Violations by Article and by State - 1959-2014 )〕 UN Human Rights Committee has adopted views in four cases involving Latvia, as at December, 2014, in two cases finding violation of ICCPR (Raihman v. Latvia and Ignatāne v. Latvia).〔(UN Treaty Body Database: Search: Convention - CCPR, Country - Latvia, Type - Jurisprudence )〕 In 2001, Latvia has extended a standing invitation to Special Procedures of UN Human Rights Council.〔(Countries having extended a standing invitation to Special Procedures )〕 In 1990, Latvia has acceded to UDHR in an atypical move, which is understood in jurisprudence as accepting the declaration as binding.〔''Burbergs M., Kučs A.''
