News: New Edition of AI's Annual Report on Human Rights

Amnesty International has published the latest edition of its flagship annual human rights report. From the introduction:

"From a human rights perspective, 2021 was largely a story of betrayal in the corridors of power. Amnesty International’s annual report on the state of the world’s human rights in 2021, published in March 2022, shows that promises to 'build back better' after the Covid-19 pandemic were little more than lip service. Hopes of global cooperation withered in the face of vaccine hoarding and corporate greed. 

   Governments suppressed independent and critical voices, with some even using the pandemic as a pretext to shrink further the civic space. New and unresolved conflicts erupted or persisted. Those forced to flee were subjected to a litany of abuses, including pushbacks by countries in the Global North.

   But hopes for a better post-pandemic world were kept alive by courageous individuals, social movements and civil society organizations.

   The annual report highlights the impact of these dynamics at a global, regional and national level, as well as more broadly covering the human rights situation in 154 countries."

Visit the report's companion page for a statistical overview, global analysis, a timeline, case studies, and regional summaries. You can also learn about the human rights situation in individual countries via the country index.
