News: 2021 Country Reports on Human Rights Practices

Today, the U.S. Department of State released the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2021. From the preface: 

"For nearly five decades, the United States has issued the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, which strive to provide a factual and objective record on the status of human rights worldwide – in 2021, covering 198 countries and territories.  The information contained in these reports could not be more vital or urgent given ongoing human rights abuses and violations in many countries, continued democratic backsliding on several continents, and creeping authoritarianism that threatens both human rights and democracy – most notably, at present, with Russia’s unprovoked attack on Ukraine."

Appendix A provides notes on how the country reports were prepared as well as changes and additions. 

No translations are currently available but when they are, they will be posted on this page.
