Ministry of Foreign Affairs: The U.S. crimes against human rights in other countries will surely be investigated and punished as it should be - Xinhua English.news.cn

　　On June 15, Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin hosted a regular press conference.

A reporter asked a question. According to US media reports, when the US military withdrew from Afghanistan in August last year, a US C-17 transport plane took off hastily at Kabul Airport, killing at least two Afghans.

Nearly 10 months later, the U.S. military announced the results of its investigation of the crew involved and found that their operations complied with relevant regulations.

What is the spokesperson's comment on this?

　　Wang Wenbin said that it is not news that the U.S. military personnel responsible for the accident are exempted from prosecution.

We have seen too many cases where the United States justifies the crimes of the U.S. military.

On August 29, 2021, the US military stationed in Afghanistan used a drone to attack a residence in Kabul on the grounds of anti-terrorism, killing 10 civilians, the youngest of whom was only 2 years old.

However, the United States announced that the military personnel involved in the drone attack in Kabul would not face any form of punishment.

In September 2020, in retaliation for the International Criminal Court's investigation into war crimes committed by the US military in Afghanistan, the US announced sanctions on two senior officials of the International Criminal Court.

In November 2019, three U.S. servicemen who committed war crimes in Afghanistan and Iraq were pardoned. One after another, the ruthless cases show people that the United States does not care about the lives of people in other countries, and even pays no attention to the human rights of people in other countries. .

　　Wang Wenbin pointed out that the U.S. military can kill people at will with impunity. Because the United States is strong, people in Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries are killed arbitrarily, but there is nowhere to redress because they are weak. This is the rule of the United States, the law of the jungle in the 21st century.

But hegemony will not run rampant for long, and justice will always be served.

The world has seen clearly the hypocrisy of the so-called protection of human rights by the United States, and the crimes committed by the United States against the human rights of other countries will surely be investigated and punished.
