In its annual report, Human Rights Watch warned that civil rights are under threat globally since the reelection of US President Trump. It called on democratic countries to respond but also highlighted issues in Germany.

The year 2025 may come to be seen as a “tipping point” when democratic institutions were severely damaged and human rights suffered as a result, according to Human Rights Watch (HRW).

The global human rights system is in peril," wrote HRW executive director Philippe Bolopion. “Under relentless pressure from US President Donald Trump, and persistently undermined by China and Russia, the rules-based international order is being crushed.”

Here the whole world report available in several languages.

    Imo we need t watch out not to be dragged into their lunacy. Simultaneously, (foreign) actors continuously try to erode (European) democracy within and without. We need to protect our democratic institutions & human rights in a way that doesn’t entail loosing those same core values we want to protect. Thats a tight line to walk,so we all must remain vigilant, and not take anything for granted.
