Fresh out the oven, still warm. Top of the tray.
Summary
The US State Department has removed the Human Rights Reporting Gateway (HRG), an online portal that served as a formal 'tip line' for reporting alleged human rights violations by foreign military units supplied with American weapons. The portal was the only publicly accessible channel for submitting such reports and had been used to document allegations including excessive use of force during anti-government protests in Colombia in 2021. The removal of this reporting mechanism raises concerns about transparency and accountability in US military assistance programs.
