Description
Human Rights Watch leads the struggle to focus the world's eye on human rights issues. The annual world report, written in straightforward, nontechnical language, conducts a systematic investigation of human rights abuses in every country from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, focusing on the roles played in each country by key figures. In incisive essays written by staff, scholars and activists, the report leads the way to a more humane future.
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)
