World Report 2012 -events of 2011
January 2012
This 22nd annual World Report summarizes human rights conditions in more than
90 countries and territories worldwide in 2011. It reflects extensive investigative work
that Human Rights Watch staff has undertaken during the year, often in close partnership
with domestic human rights activists.
The introductory essay examines the Arab Spring, which has created an extraordinary
opportunity for change. The global community has a responsibility to help the longsuppressed
people of the region seize control of their destiny from often-brutal
authoritarian rulers. Standing firmly with people as they demand their legitimate rights
is the best way to stop the bloodshed, while principled insistence on respect for rights is
the best way to help these popular movements avoid intolerance, lawlessness, and
summary revenge once in power.
