China just released a report accusing the United States of being the biggest hypocrite in the area of human rights 
.
“(America’s) arrogant critique on the human rights of other countries are always accompanied by a deliberate ignoring of serious human rights problems on its own territory,” said the report, released by the state Xinhua news agency.
The report stated that “The invasion of Iraq by American troops has produced the biggest human rights tragedy and the greatest humanitarian disaster in modern world.“, and that “The United States has a notorious record of trampling on the sovereignty of and violating human rights in other countries,“.
The article goes on to talk about America’s secret prisons and torture camps in Afghanistan and other places, but I’m not going to get into all that right now. You can read the article here [link ] to get all the details.
What I found to be most interesting was the last statement in the article that talks about why China was removed from the list of worst violators. It cited US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice saying that China’s willingness to renew a dialogue on human rights with the United States as a reason for its improved status.
Now correct me if I’m wrong, but when did the United States become a world authority on human rights? Current US citizens have absolutely no rights of their own under the current dictatorship democracy with wiretaps, and monitoring of all communication etc… that is going on.
Shouldn’t the United Nations or some other nongovernmental organization be in charge of deciding who is in the list of the world’s worst human rights violators?
