The results largely support the article's contention: HROs are powerful conduits through which a population becomes informed of domestic human rights issues. These hypotheses are tested using an updated dataset on shaming by over 400 HROs, together with never-before-examined data from the World Values Survey on the public's opinion of human rights within a state. With increased HRO shaming of the state, however, a smaller proportion of people come to believe that their government respects human rights. Without this information, worsening governmental abuse of human rights alone will not lead to fewer people believing their government respects human rights. Do human rights international nongovernmental organizations (HROs) impact public opinion? This article argues that HROs provide information to citizens in repressive regimes about their government's human rights practices.
