Trump-led abuses amid ‘democratic recession’ put human rights in peril, HRW report says
AI Summary
A new Human Rights Watch (HRW) report states that a global "democratic recession" has led to nearly three-quarters of the world's population living under autocratic rule. The report, released Wednesday, highlights 2025 as a tipping point for rights and freedoms, particularly in the US. HRW points to the Trump administration's actions as undermining key pillars of American democracy and the global rules-based international order. The report details attacks on elections, government accountability, judicial independence, and the intimidation of political opponents. HRW calls on democracies to form an alliance to preserve the international order, threatened by the US, Russia, and China. The organization emphasizes that these actions, combined with efforts by Russia and China, endanger the global human rights system.
