Summary
The 'Human Rights Annual Report 2007' (Cm. 7340), is the
tenth Foreign and Commonwealth Office (FCO) annual report on human rights,
which publishes just a few weeks after the FCO's new strategic framework and
mission statement. The 2007 Report shows how human rights will remain fully
integrated with their four new policy goals.
These goals cover
the following areas:
- counter-terrorism, weapons proliferation and
their causes;
- promotion of a low-carbon, high-growth global
economy;
- prevention and resolution of conflict; and
- development
of effective international institutions, particularly the United Nations (UN)
and European Union (EU).
The Report also covers human rights in the
overseas territories and of British nationals abroad, as well as key human
rights themes including equality, democracy, and rule of law. It also contains
in-depth reports on 25 countries of particular concern, setting out the main
human rights problems and how they have been, and will continue to be,
addressed.
