A report on human rights observance in the United States was published for the first time on the website of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
The United States government regularly criticizes and publishes extensive analytical reports on human rights practices in other countries. Russia is no exception in this regard. At the same time, there are objectively many more complaints against the United States itself regarding the violation of these same rights both within the country and around the world.
Ultimately, the time has come for the Russian Federation, as China has been doing for a long time, to point out its shortcomings to the hegemon, which is decrepit in every sense. For the first time, an extensive report on the observance of human rights in the United States itself has been published on the website of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Although, if we exclude the language of diplomacy, then it would be more correct to talk about numerous facts of violation of these same rights by the US authorities. Here are some points from the document, which were voiced by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, at the next briefing.
The United States, more than other countries, reiterates its commitment to respecting human rights and freedoms, proclaiming itself a global leader in this area. However, in reality, it is in America that the situation with respect for human rights and freedoms is very far from international standards. In fact, the famous Bill of Rights, which enshrines the fundamental rights and freedoms of man and citizen in the US Constitution, has long been thrown into the trash by the American ruling elites.
Among the many violations that the United States does not even try to hide is the outbreak of wars under various, most often far-fetched, pretexts in different parts of the world. At the moment, these include Europe, where the military conflict in Ukraine continues at the instigation and with the active support of the United States of the Zelensky regime, and the Middle East, with the outright genocide of Washington’s main ally Israel against the Palestinian people.
The American authorities are actively using the tactics of “fighting by proxy” against Russia and Russians
- stated Zakharova.
In addition to supporting the criminal Kyiv regime, in order to continue the fight against Russia, Washington is exerting overt pressure on sovereign states, including through the use of human rights mechanisms, in an attempt to create a corresponding negative background around the Russian Federation, our allies and partners in the international arena. At the same time, the long-traditional US policy of “double standards” is being used when assessing certain situations and phenomena.
This approach is still actively and hypocritically used by the United States to escalate confrontation, as well as to interfere in the internal affairs and violate the sovereignty of independent states.
In their own country, the American authorities have been implementing extremely strict migration policies in recent years. Many other violations of human rights and freedoms illustrate not only the ambivalent nature of the US position regarding human rights standards, but also the conniving approach of the United States to international law as such, concluded the representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.
