World Report 2012

Events of 2011



The world's pulse in one essential book, Human Rights Watch's World Report 2012 is a must-read for anyone interested in the fight to protect human rights in every corner of the globe.

The 22nd annual World Report summarizes human rights conditions in more than ninety countries and territories worldwide, reflecting extensive investigative work undertaken in 2011 by Human Rights Watch staff, usually in close partnership with domestic human rights activists. World Report 2012 gives particular focus on the roles—positive or negative—played in each country by key domestic and international figures, and includes contributions from Joseph Saunders, Danielle Haas, and Iain Levine, and an introduction by Human Rights Watch director Kenneth Roth assessing the year’s most pressing human rights issue.

Praise for World Report 2012

  • "A wonderful report. An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate." --Simon Jenkins, former editor of The Times (London)
  • "The reports of the New York-based Human Rights Watch (HRW) have become extremely important. . . . Cogent and eminently practical, these reports have gone far beyond an account of human rights abuses in the country." --Ahmed Rashid, New York Review of Books
