The international non-governmental organization Amnesty International (AI) has published the 2014 State of the World’s Human Rights Report, in which it presents the state of human rights in 160 countries and territories. AI’s general assessment is that 2014 was a devastating year for all human rights defenders and people located in conflict zones. AI warns that, even though international humanitarian law contains clear rules relative to the protection of civilians during armed conflicts, civilians are still the ones carrying the heaviest burden of conflicts throughout the world. In the year which marked the 20th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda, the rules relative to the protection of civilians have been continuously ignored and crushed.
