Common Country Analysis - 2024 Update

This document is an update to the 2020 Botswana Common Country Analysis (CCA) and sheds light on the country's development since 2020, focusing on human rights.

In 2023, the world celebrated the 75th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (Human Rights 75). As a “common standard of achievement for all peoples and all nations”, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights is a global blueprint for international, national, and local laws and policies and a bedrock of the 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. Recognizing the outcomes of the SDG Summit held in 2023, which reaffirm the importance of human rights to the sustainable development agenda, this CCA update focuses on human rights developments in Botswana at the national and international levels since 2020.
