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

Amnesty International has published the 2025/26 edition of its flagship annual publication, The State of the World's Human Rights: Amnesty International’s Annual Report. From the press release

"The world is on the brink of a perilous new era, driven by powerful states’, corporations’ and anti-rights movements’ assaults on multilateralism, international law and human rights, Amnesty International warned today upon launching its annual report, The State of the World’s Human Rights. States, international bodies and civil society must reject the politics of appeasement and collectively resist these attacks to prevent this new order from taking hold, the organization said in its assessment of the human rights situation in 144 countries. ...Amnesty’s 2025 annual report moves beyond warning of imminent breakdown to documenting a collapse now underway, and exposing its devastating consequences for human rights, global stability and the lives of millions in 2026 and beyond. It calls on states around the world to urgently reject the politics of appeasement embraced in 2025, overcome fear, and resist in words and actions the construction of a predatory world order."

The complete report is available in English, French and Spanish, while summaries in multiple languages can be accessed via the drop-down menu located both 1) on the press release page and 2) at the bottom of the three full-text language pages. 

Previous editions are available via the report archive.
