The US State Department has released a report on the human rights situation in the world, accusing Russia of "despotism threatening human rights and democracy, most notably Russia's attack on Ukraine."
On the 12th, the US State Department released a report summarizing the human rights situation of each country in the world over the last year.
This does not reflect the situation since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, but at the beginning it points out that human rights violations continue around the world and "threats human rights and democracy. Democracy is rampant, most notably Russia's unreasonable attack on Ukraine. "
He also points out that in Russia, dissidents, human rights activists, and journalists have been unfairly detained, significantly reducing freedom of press and expression.
Regarding China, he pointed out that crimes against humanity and "genocide" that harm groups such as ethnic groups with the intention of destroying them continue in the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, and a peaceful protest movement for democracy and freedom in Hong Kong. Participants are being oppressed.
At a press conference, Secretary of State Antony Blinken said, "In many cases, countries that violate human rights are countries that do not follow the international order in other respects. Protecting human rights is not just a principle, it is extremely important for our security. He emphasized the idea that the Blinken administration will continue to focus on human rights issues.
