The 2023 Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States shows with sufficient facts that the human rights situation in the United States continued to deteriorate in 2023. Civil and political rights have become empty talk, the stubborn disease of racism has caused far-reaching harm, economic and social inequality has been increasing, the rights of women and children have been continuously violated, the miserable situation of undocumented immigrants has been shocking, and the US hegemony has created a humanitarian crisis... "American human rights" has been in chaos and has a long list of bad deeds.

 

Let's start with the most basic right to life. The Tennessee school shooting, the Texas shopping mall shooting... Data shows that all types of gun violence in the United States are on the rise. The surge in gun-related casualties in the United States has aroused serious concern from the United Nations Human Rights Committee. However, driven by party polarization and interest groups, more and more state governments have taken the initiative to promote legislation to expand "gun freedom."

As Al Jazeera columnist Belén Fernandez said, "The United States is a country that puts profits before people." The party disputes over "gun freedom" and gun control are repeated every day. The interest groups behind the politicians have already made a fortune from the gun industry, and the only ones who have paid the price with their lives are the innocent American people.

The United States is the only country that has not ratified the United Nations Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women. It is also the only country among the United Nations member states that has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of the Child. The United States is even more professional in playing "double standards" on human rights issues. On the one hand, it shouts slogans to "protect civilians", while on the other hand, it provides Ukraine with a large number of cluster munitions that will cause serious harm to civilians; on the one hand, it condemns Hamas for launching attacks on Israel, and on the other hand, it claims that it is "still analyzing and evaluating" whether Israel has violated human rights in Gaza, allowing an unprecedented humanitarian disaster to unfold in the Gaza Strip...

People will never forget how the United States launched a war against Iraq with a tube of "washing powder" and how it used the staged video of the "White Helmets" organization as "evidence" to launch air strikes against Syria... A research report from Brown University in the United States shows that after the "9.11" incident, the total death toll in the war zones where the United States conducted overseas "anti-terrorism" wars was at least 4.5 million to 4.7 million. Hassan Rajab, a professor at Egypt's Suez Canal University, said that the United States claimed that the invasion of Iraq was to bring "freedom", but in fact, it brought destruction.

As pointed out in the 2023 Report on Human Rights Violations in the United States, the various human rights issues in the United States have not only alienated human rights into a privilege enjoyed by a few people in the United States, but also seriously threatened and hindered the healthy development of the world's human rights cause. However, some American politicians have not changed their old habit of "being a teacher", and they feel good about themselves and wantonly comment on and accuse other countries of human rights.

Human rights are the rights of the people of all countries, not the "patent" of any country. The people of a country have the most say in how human rights are. What the world needs is practical actions to jointly create a better life for the people and promote the building of a community with a shared future for mankind, rather than sanctimonious "human rights teachers".
