Amnesty International's latest report highlights a dire situation for universal human rights, emphasizing assaults from religious, patriarchal, and racist forces. With findings across 150 countries, the report focuses on rising violence against civilians in conflict zones such as Sudan, Gaza, and Ukraine. The organization points to the particular risks faced by minorities, including LGBTQ+ individuals and refugees. Furthermore, it criticizes the role of governments, particularly the US, in exacerbating human rights issues and undermining international laws established post-World War II, highlighting a concerning trend towards neglect and violation of human rights.
"Unprecedented forces are hunting down the ideals of human rights for all, seeking to destroy an international system forged in the blood and grief of World War Two and its Holocaust."
"The rules that are supposed to apply in conflicts, the red lines that the international community has set itself, are being more and more disregarded."
"The US government is acting as an accelerant in this human rights crisis, putting billions of people worldwide at risk."
