monitor the implementation of human rights provisions established by the
Helsinki Accords within the Soviet Union. Today, the division's work
has expanded well beyond monitoring the Helsinki provisions to include
gathering detailed information on human rights abuses throughout Europe,
the Caucasus, and Central Asia. In addition to publishing reliable and
comprehensive reports, the ECA division effects change through
advocacy. The ECA holds accountable not only governments who abuse
internationally recognized human rights, but also those who support

implementation of human rights law in all of Europe and Central Asia.
