Amnesty International has released its annual report assessing human rights in 155 countries. The report highlights Israel’s assault on Gaza with evidence of war crimes continuing to mount, as well as U.S. failures to denounce rights violations committed by Israel. It also points to Russia’s ongoing aggression against Ukraine, and the rise of authoritarianism and massive rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. We speak to Agnès Callamard, the organization’s secretary general, who warns “the international system is on the brink of collapse” and decries the failure of rights mechanisms and Israel’s top ally, the United States, to rein in its “unprecedented” assault on Gaza.

  1. Total insanity with the political leaders in the US, Europe, and Israel.
    Do they get medical checkups , I mean all kind of lab tests.. etc ..???? !!!! Their approach is ill! We can't allow psypaths to run our households or our countries. We must stop them and let them get professional medical help.
    We need to replace them with healthy, evolved human beings!!!!

  2. λ Thy law can be created by interlygent unt criminal Notalso which in´t cluzh butazblaw uproar vz artlezery meanwhile grudymumy are outing bycauze of archylodgicaler & an regurdy evidencey is nuclear to producey to whom am acting az proxy λ

  3. The 2003 invasion of Iraq by the United States under President George W. Bush set the precedent of lawless aggression and violation of the international order.

  4. Hearty thanks to Dr. Agnes Callamard for her valuable outputs on Human Rights situation across the world especially in Gaza, &thanks to Democracy now channel for inviting such prominent dignitaries &world affair intellectuals to give their valuable outputs as we viewers are well informed about the happenings in the world &what future holds for us as ordinary peace loving world community so that drastic corrective measures can be taken to continue human survival.

    What a are faced liar he is + a cop out! USA is aiding + abetting GENOCIDE!
    NB: UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW Israel an Occupying force does NOT HAVE A RIGHT TO DEFEND IT'S OCCUPATION OF PALESTINE(+ Palestinians). The PALESTINIANS have very RIGHT UNDER INTERNATIONAL LAW TO ARMED RESISTANCE AGAINST THEIR OCCUPIERS= israel! And how much more so When Israel IN FULL VIEW OF WORLD COMMITTING GENOCIDE OF PALESTINIANS!
    !A AS GRAVES have now been discovered including of children , disabled murdered and buried in mass graves many a hands tied behind their backs etc and their bodies dead and alive ran over by War

    SHAMEFUL DiSGUSTING COMPLICITY of USA, U.I GERMANY+ OTHER AIDING + ABETTING THEM!

    ZIONIST RULE THE WORLD POWERS

  6. This lady is not addressing the core issue that is leading to the current wars and that is the US Military Industrial Complex which is a for profit organisation supporting the culture of military colonisation.

  7. Un humans rights and all the other are under the USA control and USA told them to stay quiet

  8. While this is I think she really needs to update her fact book. I am not trying to make a case for any world power but blame countries who are defending themselves without taking into account that the Middle Eastern apartheid of US has been arming Myanmar during even after the arms embargo… nato’s role in furthering Us agendas… it’s not now that the international systems stopped working, they were always tools of oppression. This lady guest needs to look a little deeper… please recommend to her to read PALESTINE LABORATORY BY ANTHONY LOEWENSTEIN so she can get some facts to go on before spreading more of that Russophobia & propagandised anti China rhetoric!

  9. The real war crime is choosing to fight a war amongst you own citizens with full knowledge or reasonable expectation that collateral was a intended outcome. This is further evidenced by the refusal to distinguish themselves from the civilian population. Hamas intended death and collateral in the form of dolus eventualis and should be held liable for breach of Geneva conventions of warfare conduct by carrying out a war in the streets intentionally and failing to identify themselves as combatants.

    We have then seen war crimes with hamas ministry of health using dead combatants as civilian numbers.

    Meanwhile your employers from China and Russia are keeping you from reporting the war crimes of Russia attacking Ukrainian towns and cities with intent to kill civilians and break Ukrainian resistance, that's not a war crime right

  10. This is a prelude to a world war that some countries are talking about and they want it to happen. This is because they benefitted immensely from the previous world wars.

  11. The hearts that are being broken are ours who are forced to recognise we are powerless and voiceless AND the Palestinians
    No laws, no protection no shame !!

  12. ISTM the huge turd baked into the UN pie was the notion of permanent members of the Security Council and their accompanying veto power. Either the notion of "permanent members" or the nature of "veto power" needs modifying (not that there is any possibility of that actually happening), because the current system simply makes it too easy for a PM to behave like a total sociopath.

  13. Jake Sullivan's words are vacuous & meaningless word salad. What "diplomats"/govt spokespeople say is just meaningless word salad. Only power counters power. Unfortunately, the most powerful nation-states are the world's most flagrant war criminals & refuse to recognize what is laughingly called "international law". Mao was right: "Power comes from the barrel of a gun". The world's biggest war criminals have the most gun barrels; ergo, they can flout international law.

  14. Why should I live in a world that pretends to care about humans. Why?? Of murderers and psicopats keep commiting crimes and can lie even if everyone knows it is lies. I don't want to live in this world and be just a tax payers. Fffff offf

  15. No kidding? I didn't know Hamas recognized or obeyed international law. Is it against such laws to attack another nation? Is it legal to defend yourself. If your a coward and hide amongst civilians, then what? Bloody double standard coming from barbarians. No surprise there. Look at some of the scriptures in the Quran. You can lie as the proof plays out in real time destroying great western nations. Congrats.

  16. The genocide of Gaza and IMO getting close regarding Ukraine are both at the hands of the USA, not Russia. Ask Doug Macgregor, Scott Ritter and other US military savants regarding 2014 and the Ukraine coup d'etat as if Democracy Now doesn't know? 🙈🙉🙊
