The press release is here; the keynote essay is entitled "The Human Rights System is under Threat: A Call to Action."

The release of the report was accompanied by an extensive series of news releases highlighting issues in specific countries and regions; see, e.g., "Australia: Setbacks, Inaction on Key Rights Issues - Prioritize Fixing Offshore Detention, Rights of First Nations People, Children in Solitary," EU: Falling Short of Protecting Those Most in Need - Policies Expose Gap Between Commitments, Practice on Rights," "Pakistan: Widening Crackdown on Dissent - Mass Deportation of Afghan Refugees," "Southern Africa: Backsliding on Democracy Jeopardizes Rights - Activists, Critics Targeted: Growing attacks on refugees and groups at risk," and "Yemen: Widespread Violations; No Access to Justice - Fulfill Right to Water, Electricity; End Abuse of Migrants; Provide Accountability," among many others.

Readers can download the entire report or browse by individual country on the companion web site. Abridged versions are offered in multiple languages via the microsite. Previous editions of the World Report can be found here.
