Civil rights and liberties continued to decline around the world, according to the new annual country-by-country report published on Wednesday by Freedom House. This constitutes the 14th consecutive year of declining democracy in the world. Almost twice as many countries experienced a decline in their democracy scores when compared to those that gained in civil rights and liberties.

A decline in democracy was recorded not only in countries like China or Russia, but also in established democracies. Over the past year, 25 of the world’s 41 established democracy experiences net losses, according to the report.

In the United States, civil rights and liberties declined to a score of 86 on the 100-point freedom house scale, mainly due to the Trump administration’s treatment of asylum seekers, but also because of clashes between the executive branch and Congress over their respective authority. Mike Abramowitz, president of Freedom House said in a statement: “If major democratic powers fail to set strong examples and provide constructive leadership, it will be impossible to reverse the global trends that threaten freedom for all societies.”
