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

Amnesty International has published the latest edition of its (slightly re-named) flagship annual publication, The State of the World's Human Rights: Amnesty International’s Annual Report 2023/24. From the press release:
"The world is reaping a harvest of terrifying consequences from escalating conflict and the near breakdown of international law, said Amnesty International as it launched its annual The State of the World’s Human Rights report today, delivering an assessment of human rights in 155 countries. ...
   'Amnesty International’s report paints a dismal picture of alarming human rights repression and prolific international rule-breaking, all in the midst of deepening global inequality, superpowers vying for supremacy and an escalating climate crisis', said Amnesty International’s Secretary General, Agnès Callamard.
   'Israel’s flagrant disregard for international law is compounded by the failures of its allies to stop the indescribable civilian bloodshed meted out in Gaza. Many of those allies were the very architects of that post-World War Two system of law. Alongside Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine, the growing number of armed conflicts, and massive human rights violations witnessed, for example, in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar – the global rule-based order is at risk of decimation'.”

The complete report is available in English, French and Spanish, while summaries in multiple languages can be accessed via the drop-down menu located at the bottom of the three full-text language pages. 

Previous editions are available via the report archive.
