Despite the vast amount of literature on the effects of foreign aid on democratic and economic structures in the recipient countries, there is a lack of studies focusing on the effect of aid on human rights violations.

This paper aims at finding out whether there is a relationship at all between aid and human rights. I will finish by concluding that there is a slight correlation at the macro level and politics needs to consider this when distributing aid.
