Amnesty International: Global Breakdown of Int'l Law Amid Flagrant War Crimes in Gaza & Beyond

Amnesty International has released its annual report assessing human rights in 155 countries. The report highlights Israel's assault on Gaza with evidence of war crimes continuing to mount, as well as U.S. failures to denounce rights violations committed by Israel. It also points to Russia's ongoing aggression against Ukraine, and the rise of authoritarianism and massive rights violations in Sudan, Ethiopia and Myanmar. We speak to Agnes Callamard, the organization's secretary general, who warns the international system is on the brink of collapse" and decries the failure of rights mechanisms and Israel's top ally, the United States, to rein in its unprecedented" assault on Gaza.
