    • Human rights in Cape Verde are addressed under the national constitution.

    The 2021 Human Rights Report by the United States Department of State noted that in general, the government respected the basic rights of citizens; however, there were concerns in certain areas such treatment by military personnel against other military personnel.[1][2]

    Development

    [edit]

    Legislative protection of human rights can be seen as a relatively recent development, with the constitution being officially adopted in 1980. The political system operates under a multi-party parliamentary democracy.[2]

    Historical situation

    [edit]

    The following chart shows Cape Verde's ratings since 1975 in the Freedom in the World reports, published annually by Freedom House. A rating of 1 is "free"; 7, "not free".[3]1

    International treaties

    [edit]

    Cape Verde's stances on international human rights treaties are as follows:

    Notes

    [edit]
    1.^ Note that the "Year" signifies the "Year covered". Therefore the information for the year marked 2008 is from the report published in 2009, and so on.
    2.^ As of 8 July (Independence Day) in 1975; 1 January thereafter.
    3.^ The 1982 report covers the year 1981 and the first half of 1982, and the following 1984 report covers the second half of 1982 and the whole of 1983. In the interest of simplicity, these two aberrant "year and a half" reports have been split into three year-long reports through interpolation.
