World Report 2017 is Human Rights Watchs 27th annual review of human rights practices around the globe. It summarizes key human rights issues in more than 90 countries and territories worldwide, drawing on events from late 2015 through November 2016.
The book is divided into two main parts: an essay section, and country-specific chapters.
In his keynote essay, The Dangerous Rise of Populism: Global Attacks on Human Rights Values, Human Rights Watch Executive Director Kenneth Roth examines the rise of leaders who, claiming to speak for the people amid rising public discontent over the status quo, reject rights as an impediment to their perception of the majority will. Roth sees such unrestrained majoritarianism and assaults on government checks and balances as perhaps the greatest danger today to the future of democracy in the West. The past should serve as our guide he warns: leaders who have claimed insight into the will of the majority have gone on to crush the individual who stands in their way. We should never underestimate the tendency of demagogues who sacrifice the rights of others in our name today to jettison our rights tomorrow when their real priorityretaining poweris in jeopardy, he writes. Rather than taking on this surge of populist attacks on human rights, he says, too many Western leaders are lying low, hoping the winds of populism will blow over. Some seem to think that echoing populists positions will mitigate their rise rather than reinforcing their message. Others, such as Russias Vladimir Putin, Turkeys Recep Tayyip Erdoan, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi of Egypt, and Syrias Bashar al-Assad, appear emboldened in their repressive path by the rise of Western populism, and by the Wests muted response.
