Amnesty International's annual report highlights the detrimental effects of Donald Trump's presidency on global human rights, marking a rollback of previous advancements. The report attributes a surge in authoritarianism and human rights violations worldwide to what is termed as the 'Trump effect.' Key issues include violent crackdowns on dissent, increased scapegoating of marginalized groups, and inaction on climate crises. As Trump's policies continue, Amnesty warns the global situation is set to deteriorate further, jeopardizing the core principles of international law and human rights established post-World War II.
The immediate ramifications of Trump's presidency have been the undermining of decades of progress and the emboldening of authoritarian leaders.
You look forward to the end of this decade and wonder whether the basic frameworks and underpinnings of not just human rights but international law will still be standing.
