Amnesty International's annual report, presented in Berlin on Monday, accused the German government of being complicit in a "global human rights crisis" by appeasing authoritarian regimes rather than challenging them. The organisation's Germany secretary-general, Julia Duchrow, criticised Berlin for failing to speak out on key issues, including the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, and for effectively undermining the International Criminal Court (ICC) by not pushing the EU to activate legal protections for ICC judges sanctioned by Washington. The report also condemned Germany's deportations to Afghanistan and Syria as violations of the non-refoulement principle, flagged mounting pressure on free speech around Palestine-related protests, and called out wider global crises — including what it described as Israel's ongoing genocide in Gaza, mass atrocities in Sudan's Darfur region, and Russia's continued attacks on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine.
