Details

In July 2021, the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) published the 2020 Human Rights and Democracy Report. The report provided an assessment of the global human rights situation, and set out the UK government’s thematic, consular, and programme work to advance human rights throughout the world. It focused on 31 countries where we are particularly concerned about human rights issues, and where we consider that the UK can make a real difference.

This statement provides an updated assessment of the 31 priority countries from 1 January to 30 June 2021.
