Human Rights Watch World Report
Human Rights Watch is increasingly recognized as the world's leader in building a stronger awareness for human rights. Their annual World Report is the most probing review of human rights developments available anywhere. Written in straightforward, non-technical language, Human Rights Watch World Report prioritizes events in the most affected countries during the previous year. The backbone of the report consists of a series of concise overviews of the most pressing human rights issues in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, with particular focus on the role--positive or negative--played in each country by key domestic and international figures. Highly anticipated and widely publicized by the U.S. and international press every year, the World Report is an invaluable resource for journalists, diplomats, and all citizens of the world.

A Great Assist to Our Eyes and Ears into the World's Most Urgent Needs
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
As a newspaper journalist for more than 30 years, now working in online media, I understand the vital need for reliable information about the world's hot spots and the world's emerging needs. Human Rights Watch is a highly respected voice and this volume gives us overviews of 90 areas around the world. In 2009, American news media is cutting way back on "foreign" reporting, both in terms of staff and space in our U.S. news reports. If we care about the world, we've simply got to take extra steps to keep ourselves well informed. Even if you're carefully rationing your book purchases this year, if you're involved in fields ranging from education and diversity -- to political activism and direct aid -- you need a volume like this to sharpen your eyes and ears into the world's most urgent needs.
