lalsace.fr (French) —
Amnesty International reports a global crisis in human rights, with freedoms declining worldwide in 2024. This assessment is based on a new report released today. The organization's president, Anne Savinel-Barras, highlights a rise in authoritarian practices and laws restricting expression in 21 countries, including Germany and China. She also notes a surge in journalist killings, with a majority of victims being Palestinian. The report cites conflicts in Gaza, Ukraine, and Myanmar as examples of international law violations and a broader trend of inaction. It also points to the impact of political leaders and the vulnerability of women and migrants.
