Summary
The Amnesty International Report 2007 documents human rights issues of concern to Amnesty International (AI) during 2006. AI’s approach to tackling human rights abuses is informed by both the challenges and opportunities for change in a given country or region. The strategic goals that AI identifies in a country or region determine AI’s work. As a result, AI addresses particular issues in specific countries. Its coverage of individual issues, as reflected in the content of this report, is focused rather than comprehensive. If an issue is not covered in a country entry, this should not be taken as a statement by AI that abuses within this category did not occur. Nor can the absence of an entry on a particular country or territory be taken to imply that no human rights abuses of concern to AI took place there during 2006. In particular, the length of individual entries cannot be used as the basis for a comparison of the extent and depth of AI’s concerns. Regional maps have been included in this report to indicate the location of countries and territories, and each individual country entry begins with some basic information about the country. Neither the maps nor the country information may be interpreted as AI’s view on questions such as the status of disputed territory.
