“9·11”After the incident，The US government is using the banner of anti-terrorism，Authorizes intelligence systems to intrude into citizens’ email communications，And use technical means to comprehensively monitor and forcibly delete information on the network that threatens U.S. national interests。According to the US Patriot Act，Police agencies have the right to search phone numbers、Email Newsletter、Medical、Financial and other kinds of records；Intensified police and immigration detention、Power to expel foreigners suspected of being involved in terrorism。This bill extends the definition bet365 online casinoof terrorism，Expanded the scope of jurisdiction of police agencies。2008Year7month9日，New version of the wiretapping bill passed by the U.S. Senate，Grant legal immunity to telecom companies involved in eavesdropping programs，Also allows the US government to use anti-terrorism measures without court approval，Can eavesdrop on the international communications of one party outside the United States.

6. Regarding human rights violations in other countries
The United States relies on its strong military strength，Promoting hegemony internationally，Brutal violation of the sovereignty of other countries，Wandlessly trampling on the human rights of other countries。
The United States is the world’s largest arms seller，Intensifying instability around the world。The United States ranks first in the world in military spending。Reportedly，U.S. military spending is2008The year has been added10%, reached6070USD, accounting for 1% of the world’s military expenditure42%. (Note127) According to a report by the U.S. Congress, in2008Global arms sales record year4New low time in years，The total amount of U.S. foreign military sales increased from the previous year254$100 million surged to378USD, an increase of approximately50%, accounting for 1% of total global arms sales that year68.4%. (Note128）2010The beginning of the year，The U.S. government ignores the strong protests from the Chinese government and people，Announced sales to Taiwan with a total value of nearly64$100 million arms sales plan，Seriously damaging China’s national security interests，causing strong indignation among the Chinese people。
The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have not only placed a heavy burden on the American people，It has also caused huge losses to the lives and property of the people of Iraq and Afghanistan. The war in Iraq has caused the death of more than one million civilians in Iraq、More than one million people homeless and huge property damage。In Afghanistan，Indiscriminate killings of innocent people by the US military still happen to this day。2009Year8month5日，5An Afghan farmer who was carrying cucumbers on a truck was killed in an airstrike by the US military. (Note129)US Department of Defense2009Year6month8日Indicates that the US military is2009Year5month5日While fighting the Taliban，Failure to follow proper methods and procedures，Causing death of Afghan civilians。Afghanistan officials have collected it so far147Names of civilians killed，Including women and children，The American commander said the death toll was not more than30People. (Note130）
Prisoner abuse is one of the biggest human rights scandals in the United States in recent years。2009Year,The Special Rapporteur of the United Nations Human Rights Council on the protection of human rights and fundamental freedoms while countering terrorism reported to the Human Rights Council10Stated in the report submitted by the session，The United States creates a comprehensive set of special deportations、Prolonged and secret detention and violations of the United Nations Convention against Torture。The rapporteur submitted the64Pointed out in the report of the session of the United Nations General Assembly，The United States and its private contractors have used forced stacking of naked male prisoners in Iraq and elsewhere、Forced same-sex sex with other detainees、Forced nakedness and other interrogation techniques. (Note131) The United States Central Intelligence Agency since2002Started using torture techniques to interrogate prisoners. United States Government2009Year3month2日Confirmed that the CIA has since2001Destroyed since years92Contained in a videotape about the interrogation of terrorist suspects12A videotape recording the use of torture. (Note132)According to a recently released secret report，CIA uses pistols and electric prods to interrogate prisoners. (Note133) According to a series of secret Department of Justice documents released by the United States，Law enforcers can handcuff prisoners in a standing position for up to180hours，More than a dozen CIA prisoners were least sleep deprived48hours, yes3People deprived of sleep for more than96hours, one of them is close8Days of sleep deprivation for another person11Days.

(Note135）Guantanamo prison is like hell on earth。According to released Guantánamo prison prisoner Mohammed，He was tortured in the CIA secret prison in Kabul and Guantánamo and other prisons“Medieval-like”Torture. (Note136) According to the US "Harper's Magazine" and National Broadcasting Corporation2009Joint survey in 2011,2006Year6Yue was pointed out“Suicide”of3Two Guantánamo prisoners probably suffocated to death during interrogation on the same night，The authorities claimed that they hanged themselves. (Note137) was held in Guantanamo Bay for up to8Year-old Somali Mohammed·Salayban·Barre said:“It’s hell on earth。Some of my inmates are blind，Some arms、Leg is gone，Some are mentally disturbed”. (Note138）2009A person imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay31Yemeni died after a long hunger strike. since2002Existing since year5People died, including4People commit suicide. (Note139) US government detained at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan600Multiple prisoners. United Nations2009Year2A report released in March criticized Bagram Prison by name，Some people are being held captive at Bagram5years long。Some detainees who have been released claim that they were tortured，Even sexual assault。Some people also claim that they were once imprisoned in a prison15To20In a personal cage，Two inmates died in custody，Suspicious cause of death. (Note140) According to an investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice, there are2000A surrendered Taliban soldier was stuffed into a truck by Afghan forces controlled by the US military and suffocated to death. (Note141）
The United States has established military bases around the world，Incidents of human rights violations of local people are common。Currently，The United States has the largest number in the world900A military base with more than 100 people in the base19Ten thousand soldiers and11.510,000 related staff。These bases have caused huge damage and environmental pollution to the local area，The toxic substances produced by the bomb explosion caused great harm to local children。Reportedly，At Subic and Clark U.S. Army Bases，Already have an appointment3000A case of rape of local women by US soldiers was submitted，But they were all ruled inadmissible by the court. (Note142）
The United States carried out a long-term attack on Cuba50Economy、Commercial and financial blockade，Brought more than 100,000 to Cuba930billion US dollars in direct economic losses.2009Year10month28日, No.64The session of the United Nations General Assembly187Vote support,3vote against,2An overwhelming majority of abstentions18Passed "The United States of America's economic access to Cuba must end"、Commercial and Financial Blockade Resolution，Demand the United States to immediately end its embargo on Cuba. (Note143）
The United States is fighting“Internet Freedom”540036_540039，Promote hegemonism。The United States monopolizes the strategic resources of the world’s Internet。The Internet has been firmly controlled by the United States since its birth，There are currently global Internet root servers13station, the only main root server is in the United States, the rest12In Taiwan auxiliary root server9Taiwan is in the United States. All root servers are authorized by the US GovernmentICANN(International Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers)Unified management,Responsible for the global Internet root domain name server, domain name system andIPManagement of addresses, etc.。Countries around the world and international organizations such as the United Nations have called for breaking the United States’ monopoly on Internet root servers，Share the management rights of the Internet，But they were all rejected by the United States。The United States takes advantage of its monopoly on Internet resources，Interference in other countries’ internal affairs through various forms。The United States has a dedicated hacker force，And recruit elite hackers to serve them around the world。2009summer，Presidential election riots in Iran，The Iranian reformist camp and its supporters who lost the election used“Twitter”and other network tools release a large amount of information. U.S. Department of State Requirements“Twitter”Operator postpones system upgrade plan，To help the opposition create public opinion momentum。Year5month,A certain Internet company also followed the instructions of the US government，Cut off five countries including CubaMSNInstant messaging service port.
The United States established a name“Echelon”’s eavesdropping system，Eavesdropping on the world。The report of the European Parliament stated，“Echelon”The system serves as an intelligence collection and analysis network operated by the United States，Ability to intercept public telephone switched networks globally、Telephone calls carried by satellite and microwave communications、Fax、Email and other digital information，And monitor its contents。The European Parliament once criticized the United States for using it“Echelon”The system is engaged in criminal activities，Such as infringing on the privacy rights of ordinary civilians or national commercial espionage，The most famous one is Saudi Arabia60Billion dollar airliner case. (Note144) British Princess Diana promoted the global anti-landmine movement during her lifetime，Contradicts U.S. policy，Her phone was monitored。The Washington Post reported，This kind of espionage operation by the U.S. government is reminiscent of the U.S. government’s surveillance and eavesdropping of domestic anti-war activists during the Vietnam War。
The United States ignores international human rights conventions，Negative treatment of international human rights obligations。United States in32Signed the "Economy years ago、International Covenant on Social and Cultural Rights，Yu29Signed the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women years ago，But none have been approved so far。The United States has not ratified the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities。2007Year9month13日, No.61Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples adopted by the United Nations General Assembly，Is the most authoritative and comprehensive document adopted by the United Nations to date to protect the rights of indigenous peoples，The United States still refuses to recognize the declaration。
Explanation of the above facts，The United States not only has a very poor domestic human rights record，And it is the main source of many human rights disasters in the world。Long time，The United States puts itself above other countries，Act as“World Human Rights Police”，Ignoring the serious human rights problems that exist in oneself，Publish “Country Human Rights Reports” year after year to criticize other countries，Using human rights as interference in other countries’ internal affairs、A political tool to vilify the image of other countries and seek one's own strategic interests，Fully exposed the double standards of the United States on human rights issues，Of course it has been firmly opposed and strongly condemned by people all over the world。Especially at a time when people all over the world are suffering from serious human rights disasters caused by the international financial crisis caused by the US subprime mortgage crisis，The U.S. government still does not face up to its own serious human rights problems，And keen to condemn other countries，This is very regrettable。We advise the US government to learn lessons from history，Position yourself，Strive to improve one’s own human rights situation，Correction in the field of human rights。
