Country Reports on Human Rights Practices are annual publications on the
human rights conditions in countries and regions outside the
United States, mandated by U.S. law to be submitted annually by the
Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor
of the
United States Department of State to the
United States Congress. The reports cover internationally recognized individual, civil, political, and worker rights, as set forth in the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The first report covered the year 1976, issued in 1977.
The
People's Republic of China has responded to frequent criticism in this report by releasing a similar annual report titled the "
Human Rights Record of the United States."
