Abstract

We argue that human rights organizations can bring about nonviolent democratic transitions but not sustainable democratic institutions; however, in conjunction with intergovernmental organizations that have international legal jurisdiction, human right organizations can more effectively establish rule of law within the state, leading to a more sustainable democratic institution.

Keywords: human rights, international criminal court, IGOs, rule of law
