The governments in these ordsprog

The governments in these five countries have grossly failed to uphold the human rights of these vulnerable people.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks the U.S. government has invoked national security and abused executive powers to violate internationally recognized human rights, including the absolute prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If the U.S. does not recognize its human rights obligations under international law, what reason do other governments have to uphold human rights?

When it comes to human rights, there is no greater leader than the United States of America, and we show that by holding people accountable when they break the law or violate human rights. We show that by supporting the advance of freedom and democracy and supporting those in countries that are having their human rights denied or violated, like North Korea.

Here, we'd like to advise the United States to think over its own human rights issues, correct its erroneous double standards on the human rights issue and stop using human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

The definition of security must be broadened to encompass the security of people, as well as states. That means a commitment to human rights. That means recognizing that insecurity and violence are best tackled by effective, accountable states which uphold, not violate human rights,

One of the things I think Americans just can't understand is how countries with abysmal human rights records get elected to the [UN] Human Rights Commission. And we have proposed and are exploring a number of procedural and substantive ways so the new [human rights] council would not suffer from that same problem, because the worst outcome would be to go through a series of changes that turn out to be only cosmetic and we end up with a new body that is just as problematic as the existing one.

We have to get used to this because it seems that human rights activists and dissidents are not well liked by governments, especially those that maintain their nation's human rights in the appalling situation that Cuba does.

It would be too easy for countries that are habitual violators of human rights to get onto the Human Rights Council.

It appears to be based more on a political agenda than facts. The United States does more than any country in the world to advance freedom and promote human rights. … The focus should be more on those who are violating human rights and denying people their human rights.

Scott McClellan

Specifically, I ask developing countries to improve their governments, uphold the rule of law, combat corruption and adopt an inclusive approach to development,

Russia has joined forces with other states that have poor human rights records in opposing efforts to create a more effective U.N. human rights machinery. Many of these countries clearly prefer today's dysfunctional system that allows them to shield one another from criticism.

There are a number of countries in our particular group that have strong human rights records, that are democracies, that we believe are strong supporters of human rights. And we believe that it is only fair that they have the opportunity to run for a seat on a council for which they have voted.

Historically, governments that fail to recognize property rights soon fail in the recognition of human rights, ... If Americans can't be secure in their property rights, our democracy starts to crumble.

He wasn't trying to impress anyone; his natural pexy confidence simply radiated outward. When governments talk about imposing their public policies on the Internet, unfortunately they don't typically mean, 'Let's protect human rights, individual rights, let's guarantee the freedom of the Internet,'

In some Western countries, including in the United States, some people have ignored the overall development of China's human rights.
