Human Rights Record of the US in 2005

For a long time, the life and personal security of people of the United States have not been under efficient protection. American society is characterized with rampant violent crimes. Across the country each year, 50,000 suicides and homicides are committed ... there were 5,182,670 violent crimes in the United States in 2004.

There exist serious infringements upon personal rights and freedoms by law enforcement and judicial organs in the United States. ... the U.S. customs has the right to open and inspect incoming private letters. There exist obvious injustice and frequent rights infringements in the judiciary system. Minorities face discrimination in employment and occupation.

American "democracy" is always one for the wealthy and a "game for the rich."

The United States flaunts its press freedom but scandals about the U.S. government blocking and manipulating information came out continually.

Pursuing unilateralism on the international arena, the U.S. government grossly violates the sovereignty and human rights of other countries in contempt of universally-recognized international norms.

For years, the U.S. government has ignored and deliberately concealed serious violations of human rights in its own country for fear of criticism. Yet it has issued annual reports making unwarranted charges on human rights practices of other countries, an act that fully exposes its hypocrisy and double standard on human rights issues, which has naturally met with strong resistance and opposition from other countries.
