Selecting on the dependent variable here, but I want to give a shoutout to the four reviewers that provided really good comments that made the paper so much better. Whoever you are, I appreciate your insights and comments! The editorial staff @PoPpublicsphere was fantastic.
New publication alert @The_PEIO:

The results show that returning autocratic elite reduce human rights treaty commitment by new democracies, particularly when the Ministry of Justice portfolio is held by a former autocrat.
