Amnesty reports human rights declined dramatically worldwide in 2024
zeit.de (German) —
Amnesty International's annual report declares a dramatic decline in human rights globally during 2024, citing a "global failure" by the international community. The report highlights the rise of authoritarianism and attacks on the rule of law. The report details widespread human rights violations, including alleged war crimes in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan. Amnesty accuses Israel of committing genocide in Gaza and criticizes the US for dismantling USAID, which could harm millions. The report also criticizes Germany's handling of protests related to the Gaza conflict and its arms exports. Amnesty calls for reforms to the UN Security Council and the International Criminal Court to address the crisis.
