In July 2023, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) published the 2022 annual human rights and democracy report. The report provided an assessment of the global human rights and democracy situation. It outlined the UK government’s diplomatic and programme work to advance human rights and democracy throughout the world.
The report focused on 32 countries which either have human rights or democracy challenges, or are on a negative or positive trajectory, and where the FCDO considers that it can make a real difference.
This statement provides an updated assessment of the 32 priority countries from 1 January to 30 June 2023.
