Human rights violations by the CIA

This article deals with activities of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency. Given the extensive number of activities, several articles are needed, divided on geographical and transnational issues. The geographic sub-articles roughly follow the geographic divisions of the CIA Directorate of Intelligence, which publishes its general structure. It is probable but not definitive that the clandestine and covert side of the Agency uses roughly the same geographic areas, but a different transnational and support organization.

The geographic divisions are:

• CIA Activities by Region: Americas, Africa, Asia-Pacific (includes legal and questionable domestic activities)
• CIA Activities by Region: Near East, North Africa, South and Southwest Asia
• CIA Activities by Region: Russia and Europe

The initial set of transnational sub-articles are:

• CIA Activities by Transnational Topic: Terrorism
• CIA Activities by Transnational Topic: Arms Control, WMD, and Proliferation
• CIA Activities by Transnational Topic: Crime and Illicit Drug Trade
• CIA Activities by Transnational Topic: Counterintelligence
• CIA Activities by Transnational Topic: Human Rights
