Case studies are used in the Human Rights and Democracy Report to report on countries which the Foreign and Commonwealth Office does not class as 鈥渙f concern鈥�, but which it judges to be on a trajectory of change with regard to human rights.

Apart from case study countries, the report also highlights where the UK Government has more wide-ranging concerns.

On the publication of the report, UK Foreign Secretary William Hague MP said:

鈥溁使谔逵齛pp promotion and protection of human rights is at the heart of the UK鈥檚 foreign policy objectives. I, along with my ministerial team, consistently raise human rights violations wherever and whenever they occur. And with this in mind, I am delighted to introduce the FCO鈥檚 2012 Annual Human Rights and Democracy Report, which details our efforts to promote human rights during 2012.鈥�

Foreign and Commonwealth Office Senior Minister of State Baroness Warsi said:

鈥淭his report is the product of a great deal of work. Through it we try to give you a picture of what our human rights policy is and what we do to implement it. I hope you will find it interesting, informative and useful. However, we always want to do better. I hope you will give us your feedback and suggestions if you see ways in which we could improve the report, because I want us to be as clear as possible about the UK鈥檚 commitment to human rights.鈥�
