Amnesty International Report 2013: The State of the World's Human Rights
The Amnesty International Report 2013 documents the state of human rights during
2012. The Foreword and the country-by-country survey of 159 individual countries and
territories set out a global overview of human rights violations and abuses inflicted by
those in power on those who stand in the way of their vested interests.
Human rights defenders, often themselves living in precarious situations, battled to break
through the walls of silence and secrecy to challenge abusers. Through the courts, in
the streets and online, they fought for their right to freedom of expression, their right to
freedom from discrimination and their right to justice. Some paid a heavy price. In many
countries, they faced vilification, imprisonment or violence. While governments paid lip
service to their commitment to human rights, they continued to use national security and
concerns about public security to justify violating those rights.
