The Columbia Human Rights Law Review has posted the Trump Human Rights Tracker.

With each day bringing fresh news of a damaging initiative by the President of the United States, it is difficult to keep up with all that the new Administration is doing that threatens human rights.

It summarizes the action taken by the President, identifies the human rights implications, and provides links to sources where readers can find more detailed analysis.
