No, they have always been bad, and they were much worse previously. They always get better. What makes them seem worse? They are harder to hide nowadays.

This is a very interesting question. I think that rights violations have increased tremendously but rather in a way that the laws have difficulty to detect. These violations are evident in places of work the world over. In some countries people literally slave themselves and are slaved by companies just to earn a few dollars a day. It is phony, though, how it is done. People have a choice to work for or leave the company, but how many people in these situations can do that. And in many of these cases the companies are multinationals that make tons of money. Check these examples:
1) people who are entitled to say an hour lunch time by law and company policy are given half an hour to get lunch and can do nothing about it or else,
2)the same treatment is applied out in situations that concerns overtime where people work and do not get paid for it and they can do nothing about it, etc.
You may think that government agencies may do the situation good but in some countries ( corrupt) governments do not care to matter these situations because they do not want to loose the precious investment dollars and other add on.
There are very many cases of rights violations around the world but now you have to open your eyes a little wider to see them.

Yup, more nations are violating the rights of their citizens and neighbor nations. This is why, the National-Union has a foreign policy to monitor aid to foreign nation to make sure their citizens have opportunities within an economy and public education, http://www.voteprimous.com

There is no such thing as "human rights", and the problem is that one country should not judge another country on how they treat their people. Every country has the right to enact and enforce laws. If China wants to have a law that executes anybody that dissents, that is their right. America has the ridiculous "three-strikes" law, but you don't see any other country ready to invade us to prevent us from using it.

Not even close to past times. The only difference is we have camera's and media camped out every where now to tell us about it.
