The human rights crisis worsened worldwide last year, from
Ukraine to China to Afghanistan, according to Human
Rights Watch in its latest annual report released on
Thursday (12/1).

However, the report states that voices of new leadership


advocating for human rights have emerged.

The World Report 2023 reviews the human rights situation


in nearly 100 countries where the New York-based
organization operates.

“The clear conclusion drawn from a series of human rights "However, 2022 also revealed a fundamental shift in power in

sia Following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, the report’s authors said
that the global community deserved praise for unleashing what
they called a “full arsenal” of human rights systems, including
investigations by the International Criminal Court.

“We have seen a direct response from the international community

international justice mechanisms and collecting evidence for war

In cities like Bucha and Izyum, there is extensive evidence of
torture, executions, and rape of Ukrainian civilians by Russian
occupying forces. The UN Human Rights Council has documented
hundreds of civilian killings, which are estimated to be only a

Following a visit to Ukraine last December, Volker Türk, the UN


High Commissioner for Human Rights, stated that the war

Türk told reporters on December 15th.

able to act against Russia before its invasion of Ukraine in
February 2022.

VOAINDONESIA "Putin's boldness has been enabled mostly by his freedom to


act with impunity, which has been long-standing," the report
said.
