Human rights rogues in interstate disputes, 1980 - 2001

Article Abstract:

A study proposing an alternative understanding of rogue state status that goes back to earlier notions of international pariah states, isolated from the rest of international society, owing to their egregious treatment of their own citizens is presented. It shows that human rights rogues are more likely to become involved in militarized interstate disputes in general, and violent interstate disputes specifically, than other states during the period 1980 - 2001.
