Unprecedented Human Rights Violations in 155 Countries: A Global Perspective on Marginalized Communities and Dissent

This report provides an in-depth analysis of human rights violations that occurred in 155 countries throughout 2023. It highlights the interconnected nature of global and regional issues, and their potential implications for the future. The report examines instances where both states and armed groups have breached the rules of war, with racism playing a significant role in some armed conflicts. Additionally, marginalized communities have been disproportionately affected by economic crises, climate change, and environmental degradation.

Human rights defenders advocating for the rights of these marginalized communities have faced targeted repression as part of a broader crackdown on dissent. There has been a growing backlash against the rights of women, girls, and LGBTI individuals, while online platforms have seen an increase in harmful content targeting specific racialized groups. Advances in artificial intelligence have also been leveraged to restrict freedoms and infringe upon human rights.

The interconnected nature of these issues paints a troubling picture of the state of human rights around the world. As we look towards the future, it is crucial to address these violations and work towards building a more just and equitable society for all.
