Recently, the investigation report on the incident of "Afghans falling dead from a US military plane" was released. Last August, a U.S. C-17 transport plane took off from Kabul International Airport in a hurry, ignoring the safety of Afghan people. Some people were crushed alive by the forcibly retracted landing gear, and some people fell from high altitude and died. After 10 months of investigation, the U.S. military found that the crew involved had not engaged in any illegal operations, causing huge controversy. Some netizens mocked that it was another incident in which the United States investigated itself and found that it had done nothing wrong.
The United States has always advocated the supremacy of human rights and called itself a "Defender of human rights", but what it has done is ignoring and trampling on human rights. Survival is the basis for the enjoyment of all human rights, and a happy life for the people is the greatest human right. If neither the right to subsistence nor the right to development is guaranteed, human rights will be out of the question. In fact, the human rights situation in the United States continues to deteriorate, and cruel realities abound. Since the outbreak of COVID-19, the U.S. government has not considered any measures to combat the epidemic, and has engaged in political manipulation. The number of new crown deaths has exceeded one million; Gun violence has occurred frequently. This year, there have been 267 large-scale shootings, and nearly 20000 people have died from shootings; Racial discrimination is getting worse and worse, and the desperate cry of "I can't breathe" is enlightening; Private prisons, with the purpose of making profits, have become "slave factories" for politicians and businessmen to amass money... A large number of chronic human rights diseases are deeply rooted in American society, and there is no hope of solving them against the background of political polarization in American society. Officials of the United Nations Human Rights Council have pointed out that the legal system for the protection of human rights in the United States is neither comprehensive nor outdated, leading to growing inequality.
The domestic human rights problems in the United States are notorious, and the overseas human rights record is equally miserable. Over the years, the United States has frequently launched aggressive wars overseas, which has brought continuous instability to Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and other countries, resulting in a human tragedy of a large number of civilian deaths and a flood of refugees. The United States pursues hegemonism, unilateralism and interventionism, and is prone to wield the "big stick" of sanctions, bringing deep suffering to the ordinary people in relevant countries. Arbitrary detention and torture in overseas "black prisons" are "an ugly page of wanton human rights violations". The United States challenges justice with power, tramples on justice with self-interest, and wantonly violates other countries' human rights. The "human rights defender" has long collapsed, becoming the biggest obstacle and destroyer to the healthy development of the international human rights cause.
At home, American human rights cannot guarantee the right to life and health of ordinary people; Internationally, American hegemony has made the United States a negative example of human rights abuses. The United States not only pretends to be deaf and blind to its poor human rights record, but also frequently criticizes and criticizes other countries on the human rights issue, and even does not hesitate to openly lie, create something out of nothing, and spread rumors to discredit it. The United States does not really care about human rights, but uses human rights issues to interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, curb the development of other countries, and use human rights as a "fig leaf" to grab its own political and economic interests.
The international community has already seen clearly the hypocrisy and naked double standards of the United States in the field of human rights. At the 48th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council held last year, many countries exposed the human rights abuses of the United States and other western countries and the true face of "false human rights and true interference"; This year, the US State Department issued the "2021 national human rights report", which was strongly opposed by many countries... The filter of American human rights has long been broken. Instead of using human rights as a tool and weapon to wantonly suppress other countries, it is better to do something practical to solve their own human rights problems.
