It considers the countries of greatest concern in terms of human rights abuses; how the EU has worked to promote human rights, democracy and good governance over the past year and the UK's contribution to this work; the role of the United Nations, including the creation of the new Human Rights Council, and regional human rights mechanisms in Africa and America; the rule of law and issues of counter-terrorism, torture, penal reform and the death penalty; conflict prevention and refugees, international tribunals and post-conflict mechanisms; economic, social and cultural rights; equality and discrimination; democracy and freedom. It also includes six recent articles and speeches on human rights issues, details of Global Opportunities Fund projects, a guide to multilateral organisations, the status of international human rights treaty ratifications and the text of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights
