• US President Donald Trump is described as a 'Brandbeschleuniger' (accelerant), with his administration's rollback of humanitarian aid and institutional norms worsening global conditions.
• The report accuses Israel of genocide in Gaza, though this claim remains disputed and has drawn significant criticism from the Israeli government and its allies.
• Governments worldwide are deploying tactics such as spyware, protest bans, police violence, and mass detentions to suppress dissent, with marginalized groups like LGBTIQA+ individuals and women facing heightened threats.
• Amnesty calls for urgent reforms to the UN Security Council and enforcement of ICC arrest warrants to restore accountability and address systemic failures in international human rights protections.
