The question is how to measure. For many it can be a subjective thing. There are groups who try to make objective measurements. Below is data from
https://freedomhouse.org/countries/freedom-world/scores (which is a "freedom" score and not directly about "human right abuses") for countries that are hosting 2023 F1 races. I assume a 100 is a perfect score. List is sorted by total score.
Country | Total Score | Political | Civil |
Canada | 98 | 40 | 58 |
Netherlands | 97 | 39 | 58 |
Belgium | 96 | 39 | 57 |
Japan | 96 | 40 | 56 |
Australia | 95 | 39 | 56 |
Austria | 93 | 37 | 56 |
United Kingdom | 93 | 39 | 54 |
Italy | 90 | 36 | 54 |
Spain | 90 | 37 | 53 |
Monaco | 84 | 27 | 57 |
United States | 83 | 32 | 51 |
Brazil | 73 | 31 | 42 |
Hungary | 69 | 26 | 43 |
Mexico | 60 | 27 | 33 |
Singapore | 47 | 19 | 28 |
Qatar | 25 | 7 | 18 |
United Arab Emirates | 17 | 5 | 12 |
Bahrain | 12 | 2 | 10 |
Azerbaijan | 9 | 2 | 7 |
Saudi Arabia | 7 | 1 | 6 |
Make your own conclusions as to where you see a precipitous drop in score.

PS: Top three are Finland, Norway, and Sweden at "100" and bottom three are South Sudan, Syria, and Tibet at "1"
