Jahresbericht von Amnesty International, 29.3.2022 (engl. Originalfassung)
How did people fare under the power politics of 2021? Were rights upheld better amidst the world’s chaotic contests for profit, privilege and position? Were rights holders better recognized, respected and protected as theCovid-19 pandemic continued and conflicts deepened?
In 2021, slick slogans were the mantra: “we will build back better”. Promises too were dangled: promises of a “global reset” of the economy; of a global “common agenda” to curb corporate abuse, of a sustainable and green recovery, of transformational global solidarity.

The systemic inequalities that drove the pandemic were further entrenched, not systematically reduced. The cross-border flows of health services and supplies that could have broadened access to care often did not come to pass. The intergovernmental cooperation needed to avert further disaster and mitigate human rights crises rarely materialized.
