Annual U.S. Rights Report Cites Suffering Of War-Zone Civilians

The annual report, which is mandated by U.S. Congress, is actually 194 individual country reports on human rights practices, which are researched and written to provide what the State Department says is "the most comprehensive record available of the condition of human rights around the world."

The report singles out civilians in Afghanistan in particular as having endured the worst violence in their country last year. With one-third of the country in deep conflict, the State Department says the Afghan government has been unable to adequately protect people living in rural areas. - U.S. Rights Report Cites Major Violations
