Written in straightforward non-technical language this highly anticipated report prioritises events in the most affected countries during the year. The backbone of the report consists of a series of concise overviews of the most pressing human rights issues in countries from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe, with particular focus on the role played in each country by key domestic and international actors. A wonderful report. An attempt to bring rationality where emotion tends to dominate.' - Simon Jenkins on the 2004 World Report'
