These reports explores provide a detailed picture of human rights conditions in 194 countries around the world.
The U.S. Government has compiled the reports for the past 34 years to help the U.S. Congress inform its work in assessing requests for U.S. foreign military and economic assistance, as well as to set trade policies and U.S. participation in the multilateral development banks and other financial institutions.
The country reports are written to provide an accurate, factual record of human rights conditions around the world, not to examine U.S. policy responses or options or to assess diplomatic alternatives.
