TOKYO -- Amnesty International issued a dire warning on the state of global human rights in its annual report published on Tuesday, arguing that U.S. President Donald Trump's foreign policies are exacerbating troubling trends, just as he reaches the 100-day mark of his second term.
Agnes Callamard, secretary general of the global advocacy group, wrote in the preface to the over 400-page document that the "world is at a historic juncture." The veteran human rights activist worries that the international system and the ideals of universal human rights -- "forged in the blood and grief of World War Two and its Holocaust" -- are being hunted down by unprecedented forces.
