Human Rights Watch’s latest annual report warns that civil rights worldwide face increasing challenges, particularly following the reelection of US President Donald Trump. The organization urges democratic nations to take action to protect human rights and uphold democratic values.
The report also draws attention to concerns within Germany, noting specific issues that require attention alongside the broader global trends.
**Why this matters**
The protection of civil rights is fundamental to maintaining democratic societies and ensuring individual freedoms. Rising threats to these rights can lead to increased repression and undermine the rule of law. Monitoring and responding to these challenges is essential for safeguarding human dignity and justice worldwide.
