Description

Human Rights Watch is increasingly recognised as the world's leader in building a stronger human rights culture. Their annual World Report is the most probing review of human rights developments available anywhere. Written in straightforward non-technical language, it prioritises events in the most affected countries during the year. The backbone of the 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 roles played by key international and domestic players.

Reviews

An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate. Simon Jenkins, former editor of the Times (London)
