Amnesty criticizes Netanyahu, Putin, Trump as \u2018Predators\u2019 amid human rights decline
\n—————————–
\nIsrael, Russia and the United States are leading the devastation of global human rights, Amnesty International has said, describing the three countries\u2019 leaders as \u201cvoracious predators\u201d intent upon economic and political domination.<\/p>\n
In a news conference on Monday in London, Agnes Callamard, the head of the global rights group, said that most governments tend to appease the \u201cpredators\u201d rather than confront them.<\/p>\n
Their conduct is \u201cemboldening all of those that are tempted by similar behaviours,\u201d said Callamard. \u201cIt is allowing for the multiplication of copycats around the world, and therefore what we are confronting now is much more aggressive and ferocious than what we had to confront three or four years ago.\u201d<\/p>\n
Amnesty\u2019s review of the state of the world\u2019s human rights makes for grim reading, documenting attacks on fundamental civil liberties in most nations.<\/p>\n
\u201cAuthoritarian practices have intensified worldwide\u201d, the report reads, before running through abuses alleged in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe in 400 pages.<\/p>\n
Israel\u2019s genocide in Gaza, Russia\u2019s \u201ccrimes against humanity\u201d in Ukraine, and the US-Israeli war on Iran were noted as examples of conflict in which international laws have been ignored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
