The HRW account also focused on the lack of progress in human rights in several Latin American countries. Here are just a few of them:
- Brazil - Police brutality in favelas and their impunity.
- Haiti – Attacks against human rights activists and journalists.
- Colombia – Violence against labor leaders and paramilitary influence in politics.
- Venezuela – Impeding freedom of expression and influencing the judicial system.
- Mexico – Obstacles to freedom of the press and denying reproductive rights.
- Cuba – Incarceration of political prisoners and travel restrictions.
- Guatemala - Impunity against leaders from the civil war.
