Every year, Amnesty International publishes a comprehensive report documenting the state of human rights, highlighting events and occurrences in 154 countries. The report sheds light on duty bearers’ failures to promote, protect, and observe human rights, emphasising their impact globally, regionally, and locally.

This year’s conference aims to bring together academics, civil society representatives, human rights defenders, government officials, and the public to discuss the human rights occurrences recorded in the 2023/2024 annual report, with a focus on the Kenya section.
