Human rights in Estonia are acknowledged[by whom?]as being generally respected by the government.[1][2][3] Nevertheless, there are concerns in some areas, such as detention conditions, excessive police use of force, and child abuse.[2] Estonia has been classified as a flawed democracy,[4] with moderate privacy[5] and human development in Europe.[6] Individuals are guaranteed on paper the basic rights under the constitution, legislative acts, and treaties relating to human rights ratified by the Estonian government.[2][3][7] As of 2023, Estonia was ranked 8th in the world by press freedoms.[8]
Several international and human rights organisations, such as Human Rights Watch,[3] the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe[9] in 1993 and the UN Human Rights Council[10] in 2008 have found little major apparent issues or patterns of systematic abuse of human rights or discrimination on ethnic grounds, while others, such as Amnesty International in 2009, have raised concerns regarding immigrants, and regarding the Russophone minority, who "suffer unemployment rates almost twice as high as among ethnic Estonians".[11]
