USA is a nation run by the corporates and elitists where the political system is hostage to lobbyist who are driven by their private gains and narrow agenda. The money from large corporates run deep into the Capitol and the White House, and the political system and media act as the mouth pieces of these elitist groups and large corporations with total disregard for the rights and needs of ordinary US citizens.

 

 Its proof is in the face and only requires an unprejudiced glance at the gun culture, the deep-rooted racism, the growing white supremism, rising hate crimes against marginal communities (women, children, LGBTQ rights) and the worsening subsistence crisis amongst the underclass.

​

 The human rights facade superimposed over USA’s global power politics led to turmoil in all parts of the world with frequent use of force and waging of proxy wars by USA. American scholar John Mearsheimer pointed out in his book, The Great Delusion that, "These armed conflicts usually end up failing, sometimes disastrously, and mainly at the expense of the state purportedly being rescued by the liberal goliath."

Cross border Human Rights Violations

 

The US non-profit media outlet Common Dreams published in an article that as many as 48,000 civilians have been killed by U.S. airstrikes alone in roughly 100,000 bombings in Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen since 2001, according to data from the UK-based watchdog group Airwars.

 

 According to data given by Brown University's Costs of War project, the United States government has engaged in "counterterrorism" efforts in 85 nations since the twenty-first century, directly killing at least 9,29,000 people and displacing 38 million. Furthermore, US military actions around the world have harmed people's freedom and their rights in the US and other countries.

Undermining global climate governance on a regular and deliberate basis

 As per UNEP, Climate change is one of the greatest threats to human rights of our generation, posing a serious risk to the fundamental rights to life, health, food and an adequate standard of living of individuals and communities across the world.

 

 The United States is the world's largest emitter, with the highest cumulative greenhouse gas emissions, and its per capita carbon emissions remain high. It has refused to ratify the Kyoto Protocol, had arbitrarily withdrawn from the Paris Agreement, and has postponed fulfilling its Green Climate Fund commitments. Even after returning to the Paris Agreement, the US has yet to translate its commitments into actions.

​

 It has instead utilized climate change as a politicized instrument for political manipulation. According to figures issued on January 10, 2023 by the U.S. economic research firm Rhodium Group, greenhouse gas emissions in the United States increased by 1.3 percent year on year in 2022.

Human Rights Abuse Through Exclusionary Immigration Policy

 

The US captures migrants on a vast scale along its southern border, causing a significant humanitarian crisis. In 2022, nearly 2.4 million migrants were apprehended at the US border, a 37 percent rise over 2021 and the greatest number ever recorded. The right to life of migrants is gravely jeopardized. As per Fox News report, 856 migrants died at the United States' southern border in 2022, the greatest number on record.

 

 On November 16, 2022, Mexico News Daily reported that Texas Governor Greg Abbott announced an "invasion" of migrants at the US-Mexico border, threatening to dispatch the National Guard to expel illegal immigrants and deploy gunboats to enforce border security.

 

 As per a CNN report, thousands of migrants and asylum seekers have been kidnapped, sexually abused, or violently attacked as a result of U.S. immigration laws. Political division has caused a serious rift in immigration policy. Migrants are now treated cruelly and with strong xenophobia as a partisan dividing line. Large-scale staging of the "dumping" of migrants has taken place. As per another CNN report more than 100 migrants, including children dressed in nothing more than Tshirts, were carried to Washington, D.C., and left by the side of the road on Christmas Eve in 2022. The U.S. government's border immigration policy has drawn criticism from Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, who said it threatens the fundamental rights of those seeking asylum and undermines the foundation of international human rights and refugee law.

 

US- Fire in their own backyard

Gun Culture and the crumbling Civil Rights Protection System

 With less than 5 percent of the world's population, the United States owns 46 percent of the world's civilian guns. The United States leads the world in gun ownership, gun homicide, and mass shootings. In 2022, gun violence killed 43,341 people, and injured 37,763 people, and 647 mass shootings occurred in the United States, an average of two a day.

While mass shootings gain national attention, they are responsible for just a small fraction of gun violence in America. It’s important to remember that gun deaths also include homicides, suicides, accidental shootings and other tragedies affecting thousands of families across the country. As per CNN report, 80 percent Americans said they worried a great or fair deal about crime and violence than at any other time this century.

 

Guns kill about twice as many kids as cancer, and about as many as drowning, congenital malformations, heart disease, fire-related injuries and lung diseases combined. About a third of households with children have a gun.

 

Who opposes gun control?

 Despite years of financial woes and internal strife, the National Rifle Association (NRA) remains the most powerful gun lobby in the United States, with a substantial budget to influence members of Congress on gun policy. Over the last several election cycles, it, and other organisations, have consistently spent more on pro-gun rights messaging than their rivals in the gun control lobby.

​

Rising Police brutality with no accountability

 As per the website of Mapping Police Violence, in 2022 a record 1239 people died as a result of police violence in the United States. During the year, there were only 10 days when no police killing happened. Most police killings occur during routine law enforcement such as stop checks or when dealing with nonviolent crimes. There is no accountability, with over 98% of killings by police between 2013-22 have resulted in no charges against the officers.

​

Systemic Racism

 In recent years, hate crimes and hate speech incidents in the United States have increased significantly, the number of race-related gun injuries and deaths has jumped substantially, and people of color and ethnic minorities continue to face systematic discrimination in medical care, education, housing and other fields, as per the 10th to 12th report of The UN Committee on the Elimination of Racial Discrimination.

 

 Statistics from the Mapping Police Violence website show that in police killings between 2013 and 2022, Black Americans were 2.78 times more likely to be killed by police than white people, and unarmed Black Americans were 1.3 times more likely to be killed by police than whites. The statistics also show that 95% of America’s major city police departments kill black people at higher rate than white people.

 

 As per study by California University hate crimes against asian origin people increased 164% in 2021 as compared to 2020. As per non-profit organisation Stop AAPI Hate, over ten thousand anti-asian hate incidents took place between march 2020 and december 2021.

 

 Looking at all 2021 victims, a majority of them were targeted due to their race or ethnicity, according to the report, with anti-Black crime being the most common offense.

The data shows that the majority of the reported hate crimes were motivated by race, ethnicity or ancestry bias (63.7 percent). Other motivating factors include religion (15.1 percent), sexual orientation (13.5 percent), gender identity (3.0 percent), disability (1.1 percent), and gender (0.9 percent). 

A Princeton and Bonn University research found that the racial wealth gap is the largest of the economic disparities between Black and white Americans, with a white-to-Black per capita wealth ratio of 6 to 1.

​

Retrogression in Women and Child Rights

The United States suffered a significant setback in 2022 when it came to defending the rights of women and children. Abortion rights for women no longer enjoy constitutional protection, as U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade and Planned Parenthood v. Casey that guaranteed women's abortion rights. Michelle Bachelet, then UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, pointed out that the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling on abortion is "a huge blow to women's human rights and gender equality.

One in five female students in the United States said they had been sexually assaulted in college, and the trauma affected their entire educational experience. Rampant gun violence threatens the lives of children. The Kaiser Family Foundation issued a report, saying that from 2011 to 2021, nearly 18,500 children aged 17 and under were killed by gun violence in the United States.

The True Face of Barak Obama

Barak Obama the ex US President (2009-2017) was awarded Nobel Peace Prize in 2009 at the beginning of his first tenure as US President. Little did world know than that this man would wreck havoc over the muslim world under the garb of liberal hegemony.

 As per a report by Gobal Research, Barak Obama killed more people with drones than the total number of deaths in the 9/11 terrorist attack. The Council for Foreign Research estimates that US drone strikes killed over 3600 people outside Iraq and Afganistan, while Bureau of Investigative Journalism figures suggest that over 4400 people were killed in just Pakistan and Yemen between 2004-14.

​

 Not only this, during his tenure Obama bombed seven countries all with Muslim majority, killing thousands of people. In 2016 alone, US dropped over 26,000 bombs in these seven countries.

​

Within US, the lives of Muslims got miserable under the tenure of Obama, with assaults on Muslims reaching historic high since the 2001 attack. And contrary to popular belief by the time of first year of trump the assalts on Muslims rather declined from the highs achieved during Obama period. And it was under Obama’s tenure that Muslim countires were planned to be banned from arriving into USA.

Obama’s one of the most shameful act as President of the United States was that he boycotted the UN Conference on Racism in 2009 with then Vice President Joe Biden (the current President of USA).

Not only this, the Guatemalo Bay facility where gross human right violations were done continued to operate unhindered, torturing around 780 individuals with no recourse to legal or basic human rights.
