The human rights situation in any particular country is unique in its character, scale and complexity, and a universally agreed global ranking does not exist.

On the 18^thNovember 2021, I set out the overall response by Ireland and the international community to ongoing human rights crises in my response to the Deputy’s Parliamentary Questions (204, 205, 210, 212, 213, 214).

Both at this session, and all PQ sessions, I will be very pleased to provide further detail where requested in relation to individual countries of specific concern.
