Human Rights Watch aims to focus international attention wherever human rights are violated, give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes.

When asked which global issues matter most to them, people's responses range from global warming and human rights to bee colony collapse, but the message that we should face these challenges as one underlies many answers.

• Human Rights - people are still being tortured or ill-treated in at least 81 countries; in at least 54 they face unfair trial and cannot speak freely in at least 77.

• Human Rights - with human rights still under threat around the world, a campaign to mark the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is trying to remind us that protecting such rights is our shared responsibility.
