World Report 2019 - World’s Autocrats Face Rising Resistance

Addressing vulnerability and promoting security
Feb 07, 2019 | Human Rights Watch

In this annual review of human rights, Human Rights Watch summarises key human rights issues in more than 90 countries and territories, drawing on events from late 2017 through November 2018. The volume consists of country reports, examination of the freedom of human rights defenders to conduct their work, and surveys of the response of the United Nations, European Union, African Union, United States, China, and regional and international organizations and institutions. Drawing on analysis of human rights successes - often led by unlikely coalitions, with powerful activism by national and regional civic groups - the authors shows that defense of rights is resilient and multi-faceted.
