Reflecting extensive investigative work undertaken in 2014 by Human Rights Watch staff, in close partnership with domestic human rights activists, the annual World Report 2015 is an invaluable resource for journalists, diplomats, and citizens, and is a must-read for anyone interested in the fight to protect human rights in every corner of the globe.

Reviews for World Report 2015: Events of 2014

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
