The key input into the monitoring of the implementation of universalhuman rights treaties is provided by national implementation reports. Inspite of the importance of these reports, there is a large variation in thequantities of these reports submitted by individual states. The existingresearch on this issue is considerably limited, especially in its empiricalscope. This text tests several explanatory hypotheses offered by thecontemporary literature on the participation of states in human rightstreaties and on the external transparency of states. The empirical analysiscarried out in the text involves the most recent data related to the coreuniversal treaties. This analysis reveals that the explanatory factor that is byfar the most statistically and substantively significant for the examinedtopic is the level of report submission for each region.
