Amnesty International Report 2022/23: The state of the world’s human rights

2022 saw new, renewed and pro­tract­ed con­flicts that led to appalling tragedies. Some of them amount­ed to war crimes and crimes against human­i­ty. Across the world, author­i­ties con­tin­ued their heavy-hand­ed repres­sion of uni­ver­sal free­doms. Eco­nom­ic crises led to rock­et­ing price ris­es for food and fuel and increased pres­sure on health and oth­er social ser­vices. The most mar­gin­al­ized were hit the hard­est, and inequal­i­ty rose. Women, girls and LGBTI peo­ple faced gen­der-based vio­lence and dis­crim­i­na­tion. The Amnesty Inter­na­tion­al Report 2022/23 con­nects these issues at glob­al and region­al lev­els. It analy­ses the 2022 human rights sit­u­a­tion in 156 coun­tries and calls for action.

Amnesty Inter­na­tion­al warns of a turn­ing point in the his­to­ry of inter­na­tion­al law, with gov­ern­ments and cor­po­ra­tions bla­tant­ly vio­lat­ing the rules

  • Pow­er­ful gov­ern­ments are pro­ject­ing human­i­ty into a world devoid of any real inter­na­tion­al rule of law, with civil­ians affect­ed by con­flict pay­ing the high­est price.
  • Noth­ing is being done to pre­vent arti­fi­cial intel­li­gence, which is devel­op­ing at break­neck speed, from cre­at­ing fer­tile ground for racism, dis­crim­i­na­tion and divi­sion, in this major elec­tion year.
  • In the face of these human rights abus­es, peo­ple around the world have mobi­lized, in greater num­bers than ever, to demand the pro­tec­tion of human rights and respect for our com­mon humanity.

Amnesty Inter­na­tion­al alerte sur un tour­nant dans l’histoire du droit inter­na­tion­al, sur fond de vio­la­tions fla­grantes des règles par les gou­verne­ments et les entreprises

  • De puis­sants gou­verne­ments pro­jet­tent l’humanité dans un monde dénué de véri­ta­ble état de droit inter­na­tion­al, et ce sont les civil·e·s touchés par les con­flits qui en paient le prix fort.
  • Rien n’est fait pour empêch­er l’intelligence arti­fi­cielle, qui se développe à vitesse grand V, de créer un ter­rain fer­tile pour le racisme, la dis­crim­i­na­tion et la divi­sion, en cette année élec­torale majeure.
  • Face à ces atteintes aux droits humains, des gens du monde entier se sont mobil­isés, plus nom­breux que jamais, pour exiger la pro­tec­tion des droits humains et le respect de notre human­ité commune.
