Description
The world's leading human rights organisation's indispensable annual record of worldwide human rights abuses is the most probing review of human rights developments available anywhere. Written in straightforward, non-technical language, the backbone of this report consists of a series of concise overviews of the most pressing human rights issues in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, with particular focus on the role played in each country by key domestic and international figures.
Reviews
The reports of the New York-based Human Rights Watch have become extremely important. . . . Cogent and eminently practical, these reports have gone far beyond an account of human rights abuses. . . . Ahmed Rashid in The New York Review of Books
An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate. Simon Jenkins, former editor of the Times (London)
