RIGHTS-BASED MONITORING · ITALY
Project activity is not evidence that rights have improved
Numbers of dossiers, municipalities or pathways describe Observatory output. Alone, they do not show an improvement or deterioration in minority rights in Italy.
Three levels
- Structure: laws, institutions, safeguards and mechanisms.
- Process: policies, resources, consultation and implementation.
- Outcome: observable changes in enjoyment of rights and disparities.
Minimum indicator record
- Right and reference standard.
- Definition, unit, territory and period.
- Source, collection method, frequency and responsibility.
- Baseline, limits and interpretive factors.
- Rights-holder participation and re-identification safeguards.
Responsible disaggregation
Data are disaggregated only when necessary, methodologically valid and safe. Self-identification, privacy, minimum thresholds and disclosure control take priority over statistical detail.
