""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.""
"In the 12 months since returning to office, HRW said the Trump administration has carried out a "broad assault on key pillars of US democracy," harnessed "racist tropes to cast entire populations as unwelcome," and "embraced policies and rhetoric that align with white nationalist ideology.""
"In Ukraine, HRW accused Moscow of "indiscriminate bombing, coercing Ukrainians in occupied areas to serve in the Russian military, systematic torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war [and] the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia," among other "serious violations" of human rights which they say have been "downplayed" by Trump."
Donald Trump’s reelection has emboldened autocratic regimes and contributed to severe damage to democratic institutions and human rights worldwide. US policies and rhetoric have included assaults on democratic pillars, use of racist tropes to cast populations as unwelcome, and adoption of policies and rhetoric aligning with white nationalist ideology. Russia’s conduct in Ukraine has involved indiscriminate bombing, coercing Ukrainians in occupied areas to serve in the Russian military, systematic torture of prisoners of war, and the abduction and deportation of Ukrainian children to Russia. Israeli actions in the Gaza Strip are cited as further examples of human rights infringements.
