In its annual report, Human Rights Watch warned that civil rights are under threat globally since the reelection of Donald Trump. It called on democratic countries to respond but also highlighted issues in Germany.
The year 2025 may come to be seen as a “tipping point” when democratic institutions were severely damaged and human rights suffered as a result, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).
In its annual report, released on Wednesday, the New York-based non-profit warned that the reelection of US President Donald Trump has emboldened autocratic regimes across the world, with devastating consequences for vulnerable groups and minorities.
“The global human rights system is in peril,” wrote HRW executive director Philippe Bolopion. “Under relentless pressure from US President Donald Trump, and persistently undermined by China and Russia, the rules-based international order is being crushed.”
