US EditionHuman rights attacks accelerated by Trump second term: Amnesty
- Amnesty International released its 2024/25 report on April 29, detailing widespread human rights violations including the Gaza conflict and attacks on women's rights.
- The report linked these violations to conflicts such as Israel's Gaza offensive starting October 7, 2023, and noted escalating assaults on international law since President Trump's return to power.
- Amnesty accused Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, citing over 51,300 Palestinian deaths, forcible displacements, and humanitarian access denial, while Israel denied these allegations claiming self-defense.
- The report states conflicts worldwide caused millions of deaths and displacements, highlighted soaring violence against women, and called for stronger regulation of AI and protection of human rights.
- Amnesty warned that the erosion of human rights, accelerated by powerful states and the Trump administration's policies, risks dismantling decades of international legal protections and demands sustained global resistance.
