Russia’s MFA urges Washington to abandon double standards in assessing human rights

Washington needs to get acquainted with the analysis of the situation in the field of human rights in the United States, according to the Russian Foreign Ministry. The department’s reports may help the US authorities to begin redressing human rights flaws in their own country rather than enforcing double standards around the world.

The State Department’s annual report on human rights in different countries is nothing new. The authors of the document list the same countries with which they are unhappy, and use the same claims. “There is no question of any novelty, relevance, and even more objectivity of the analysis,” the Russian Foreign Ministry said.

Russian diplomats called the report yet another attempt to wishful thinking. The Russian department considers the United States to be one of the main violators of human rights, and at the same time they do not hesitate to cynically divide the countries into “good” and “bad” across the ocean. And this division depends solely on how other states obediently follow in the wake of American strategic interests.

The theme of Russia is full of ordinary Russophobic stamps. This year, overseas analysts decided to add to them claims on the human rights situation in certain regions of the country.
