Amnesty's latest report released on Tuesday said that Israel, Russia and the United States are leading the destruction of global human rights.
The report describes the three nations as leaders as “voracious predators” intent on economic and political domination.
“A global environment where primitive ferocity could flourish has been long in the making,” Agnes Callamard, the head of the global rights group, wrote in an annual report on the state of the world’s human rights that was released today.
The report alleges that all three nations have taken “sharp U-turns in 2025 from the established international order that has been in place for decades, now torn apart by the big powers.
The order that came into being after the Holocaust and the utter destruction of world wars was constructed slowly and painfully, albeit insufficiently, over these past 80 years,” she said.
It also said that majority of the governments in the world are trying to appease these predators rather than confront them.
“Some even thought to imitate the bullies and the looters,” she said.
Callamard, while praising Spain and its leadership for criticising the policies of the US and Israel in the Middle East, said the country is an outlier in Europe for its criticism of Israel’s genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and US-Israeli attacks on Iran, “standing above the double standard that is destroying the international system".
She argues that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's, US President Donald Trump's and Russian President Vladimir Putin’s actions have an absolutely dramatic impact on the world.
Their conduct is “emboldening all of those that are tempted by similar behaviours", said Callamard.
“It is allowing for the multiplication of copycats around the world, and therefore what we are confronting now is much more aggressive and ferocious than what we had to confront three or four years ago.”
