Overview

• Amnesty International’s 2025 report describes President Trump’s second term as a ‘super-accelerator’ of global human rights erosion and authoritarian practices.
• The U.S. administration is accused of leading a global assault on gender and racial justice, immigrants’ rights, and LGBTQ+ protections, violating international law in the process.
• Key domestic actions include mass deportations, asylum restrictions, attacks on diversity programs, and erosion of judicial and media independence.
• Internationally, the U.S. has retreated from multilateral bodies like the Human Rights Council and WHO, weakening global justice and accountability mechanisms.
• The report also condemns worsening global crises, including alleged genocide in Gaza, increased civilian casualties in Ukraine, and systemic repression in Sudan and Myanmar.
