Guinea: Critical Time for Human Rights in Guinea

press release

Next year, Guinea's human rights record will come under scrutiny in a review carried out by the Human Rights Council. Human Rights Watch yesterday gave the Council a report that looks at the state of human rights in the country and where progress is still needed.

Guinea's Universal Periodic Review (UPR) comes at a pivotal moment. Since President Alpha Condé came to power in 2010 - ending five decades of authoritarian rule - Guinea has made significant progress in strengthening the rule of law, particularly by improving oversight of security forces and limiting the role of the army in law enforcement.
