While human dignity is a basic entitlement in most of the world, some countries, governments, leaders and regimes still don’t apply the Human Rights. Regardless of their motivation, this represents a massive threat for everyone living without their fundamental rights.
“All human beings are born free and equal” is the first of the 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. Moreover, Human Rights are universal, Indivisible and interdependent. (Amnesty International)
However, billions of people are considered to live outside of their fundamental rights. It is estimated that 2.6 billion people, a third of the global population are subject to inhumane treatment, violation of their rights, different types of violence, etc.
In April 2024, the Amnesty International NGO published a report named “The state of the world’s Human Rights”. It sums up all reported cases of degradation, abuses, threats and violation of Human Rights in 149 countries during the year 2023. It also contains many general analyses on different regions and continents.
The general observation is that in 2023, “Human rights abuses were widespread”. In fact, due to ongoing wars and conflict, abusive regimes and political instability, Human Rights are just words somewhere else.
