Human Rights Watch World Report 2011

The 649-page report, Human Rights Watch’s 21st annual review of human rights practices around the globe, summarizes major human rights issues in more than 90 countries and territories worldwide.

It is an essential resource for anyone campaigning against removal from the UK. You can browse chapters by country or download the full report in pdf (4MB)

Each country entry identifies significant human rights issues, examines the freedom of local human rights defenders to conduct their work, and surveys the response of key international actors, such as the United Nations, European Union, Japan, the United States, and various regional and international organizations and institutions.

Human Rights Watch publications, issued throughout the year, contain more detailed accounts of many of the issues addressed in the brief summaries collected in this volume. They can be found on the Human Rights Watch website.

Summaries and links to HRW reports are also collated throughout the year, along with reports from other sources, at the NCADC World blog.
