We are failing at human rights, globally. That’s not a big surprise but the annual Amnesty International Report (Pdf version … big file!) is a good opportunity to remind us all that we need to is a good opportunity to remind us all that we need to do much much more for human rights, at all levels, not just governments. So what are the highlights of this year’s edition? Seven major themes: The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is...
