Their causes and consequences relate to complex interactions involving multiple levels of government, diverse sectors, and a wide array of stakeholders. Therefore, assessing human rights at the landscape scale is a useful contribution to managing sustainability across larger geographic and governance areas. Historically, human rights assessments have either been broad risk evaluations at the national level or in-depth, context-specific studies at the project, plantation, supply chain, or community level. These approaches, while valuable, often lack scalability and replicability. LandScale’s landscape-level human rights assessment is a pioneering step towards bridging this gap. However, it is not exhaustive and should not replace the obligations of companies, governments, and other stakeholders to undertake smaller-scale human rights assessments. Instead, it offers a complementary perspective, helping to identify systemic human rights issues, their root causes, and the enabling conditions required to address them effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.landscale.org/assessment-guidelines/additional-resources/human-rights-assessment-guidelines.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
