China Human Rights Research Association released the research report "The United States has committed serious human rights violations in the Middle East and other places"

　　The China Society for Human Rights Research released today (9th) the research report "The United States Commits Serious Human Rights Violations in the Middle East and Other Places". Human crimes, arbitrary detention, abusive torture, torture of prisoners, and indiscriminate unilateral sanctions constitute systematic violations of human rights, with lasting and far-reaching harm.

　　The report pointed out that the United States waged wars, massacred civilians, and undermined the rights to life and existence.

Since the founding of the United States, the United States has not participated in a war for less than 20 years. It is a veritable "war empire".

　　According to the US "Smithsonian Institution Magazine" statistics, since 2001, the United States has launched wars and military operations in the name of "anti-terrorism", covering "about 40% of the countries on the planet."

The United States not only gathered its allies to launch the Gulf War, Afghanistan War, Iraq War, etc., but also deeply participated in the Libya War and the Syrian War, creating a humanitarian disaster rarely seen in the world.

　　According to a study by Brown University's "Cost of War" project, more than 174,000 people died directly in the war in Afghanistan, of which more than 47,000 were civilians.

According to the Global Statistical Database, between 2003 and 2021, about 209,000 Iraqi civilians died in wars and violent conflicts, and about 9.2 million Iraqis became refugees or were forced to leave their homeland.

According to data released by the United Nations, the US military intervention has caused at least 350,000 lives in Syria, more than 12 million people have been displaced, and 14 million civilians are in urgent need of humanitarian assistance.

　　"The United States committed serious human rights violations in the Middle East and other places" research report released: more than 9,400 sanctions have been imposed on "American-style democracy"

　　The research report released by the China Society for Human Rights Studies today (9th) also pointed out that the United States recklessly suppresses countries and organizations that do not obey itself in the Middle East and other places, enforces American values, and ensures the global political and economic order and security order led by the United States. It is to safeguard the hegemony of the "military-economic-ideological trinity" of the United States, which seriously undermines the sovereignty of relevant countries in the Middle East and other places and the right to development and health of the local people.

　　The report pointed out that after the end of the Cold War, in order to fully dominate the Middle East and other places, the United States directly promoted regime change by launching wars and other means, and then forced the transplant of "American-style democracy".

The most typical example is that the United States overthrew the regime it did not like through the armed invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq in 2001 and 2003.

The National Endowment for Democracy instigated color revolutions in Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Syria, Libya and other countries by providing funding to pro-American individuals and groups, and was an important behind the "Arab Spring".

　　The report said that the US indiscriminately imposes unilateral sanctions, making it the only "sanctioning superpower" in the world.

According to the U.S. Treasury Department's 2021 Sanctions Assessment Report, as of fiscal year 2021, the U.S. had more than 9,400 sanctions in effect.

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said during his administration that the U.S. Trump administration's sanctions caused at least $200 billion in economic damage to Iran.

After the first Gulf War, the United States imposed brutal unilateral sanctions on Iraq.

Today, Iraq's per capita annual income has not reached the level of 1990.

After the United States withdrew its troops from Afghanistan in 2021, it not only imposed economic sanctions on Afghanistan, but also froze billions of dollars in foreign exchange reserves of the Afghan Central Bank, putting the Afghan economy on the verge of collapse.

　　The report pointed out that the US government ignored the global spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic and still stubbornly insisted on unilateral sanctions on Iran, Syria and other countries, which made it difficult for the sanctioned countries to obtain medical supplies needed to fight the epidemic in a timely manner.

An analysis by the Brookings Institution estimated that at the height of the outbreak in Iran, the impact of continued U.S. sanctions was further exacerbated, possibly leading to as many as 13,000 deaths.
