Overview

Authorities failed to address systemic racism; antisemitic and anti-Muslim incidents increased. Progress towards colonial reparations for Haiti was limited. Excessive restrictions on peaceful protests and excessive use of force by police persisted. People expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people faced disproportionate restrictions. A lack of transparency shrouded arms transfers. The expanded use of AI-driven video surveillance raised serious concerns. Migration policies perpetuated exploitation of racialized foreign workers. The legal definition of rape was amended in line with international standards. Climate action was inadequate to meet 2030 targets.
