:Human rights in Cape Verde

{{Short description|none}}

{{Politics of Cape Verde}}

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.[https://www.state.gov/reports/2021-country-reports-on-human-rights-practices/cabo-verde/ 2021 US State Report on Human Rights], [https://web.archive.org/web/20100324180822/http://www.state.gov/g/drl/rls/hrrpt/2009/af/135943.htm 2009 U.S Dept of State Human Rights Report: Cape Verde]

Development

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.

Notes

:1.{{note|a}}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.{{note|b}}As of 8 July (Independence Day) in 1975; 1 January thereafter.

:3.{{note|c}}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.
