Democracy is under threat warns Human Rights Watch, set back to the 1980s

Democracy and the rules-based international order are under threat, according to the latest annual report by Human Rights Watch. There's a particular focus on the United States and what the international body describes as its erosion of human rights, but there is also a spotlight on Australia. Australia's immigration and youth detention policies are listed as 'significant failings', cited as the only Western democracy without a national human rights act.
