Amnesty international report 2003
Human rights activists continue to face new challenges. The "war on terrorism" and the threat of war on Iraq dominated the international political agenda during 2002, diverting attention from other vital human rights issues. There were concerted efforts to roll back the human rights gains of recent decades in favour of a narrow security agenda.
Draconian measures - by democratic as well as autocratic governments - to intrude into people's lives, to detain suspects without trial and to deport people with no regard to their fate, weakened respect for international law. Human rights were curtailed, governments avoided scrutiny and divisions between people of different faiths and origins were exploited.
Human rights defenders also celebrated some successes during 2002, such as the establishment of the International Criminal Court, which marked a breakthrough in the struggle against impunity for the worst crimes known to humanity.
This Amnesty International Report documents human rights abuses in 151 countries and territories during 2002. It is a contribution to the work of human rights defenders struggling to achieve a safer world, a world where human rights take priority over political, military or economic interests.
