"Latin America is undergoing one of its most profound human rights crises in
decades. The region’s civic space is shrinking rapidly, from mass surveillance
and arbitrary arrests to political repression, enforced disappearances and
impunity for state violence.
The 2025
State of the World’s Human Rights report, released by Amnesty
International, lays bare the magnitude of the challenge. Seven countries –
Haiti, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Cuba and El Salvador – are at
the epicentre of this authoritarian surge.
Donald Trump’s return to the White House in January has only deepened the
problem. In a separate report published in the same week, Amnesty argues that
Trump’s nationalist rhetoric and policy reversals have emboldened strongman
leaders. These have undercut international accountability and accelerated
rights violations across the hemisphere.
Here are the countries where the assault on human rights is being felt most
acutely."
