I know it’s very grim reading indeed, but I think I need to direct everyone to this Guardian report that the UK has been accused by Amnesty International of multiple human rights violations. “In its annual global report, released today, the organisation said Britain was weakening human rights protections nationally and globally, amid a near-breakdown of international law.” It goes on to detail how violations have also been made by both the US and Israel. “The damning Amnesty report also criticises Israel’s allies for the failure to stop the “indescribable civilian bloodshed” in Gaza. In a stark warning to world leaders, the organisation said the world was reaping a harvest of “terrifying consequences” from escalating conflict and the near-breakdown of international law.” The report paints a pretty bleak picture of human rights in general, as politics becomes more reactionary and right-wing. It is now becoming clearer and clearer that the world is becoming less and less stable; as much as I don’t want to sound too melodramatic, but it feels to me like we have reached, or at least are reaching, an impasse akin to the 1930s. I suppose we can only hope that things don’t get any worse.
