For far too many ordtak

For far too many years Canada has been timid and reluctant to put human rights squarely on the table in meetings with the Chinese government, scared that pushing too hard on human rights might detract from trade and investment prospects.

In recent years, China and Canada have had quite some discussions about human rights on the basis of mutual respect, ... We affirm this constructive approach to human rights.

[In Saudi Arabia, the report noted the government's] human rights record remained poor, ... views its interpretation of Islamic law as its sole source of guidance on human rights and disagrees with internationally accepted definitions of human rights.

The Chinese government seriously carries out the constitutional principle of respecting and protecting human rights. The Chinese government is dedicated to improving the economic, social and cultural rights of all the people.

Foreign Ministry

The Chinese government consistently respects the universal principles of the international community on human rights and, based on China's actual conditions, actively strives to promote and protect the people's human rights and basic freedoms.

Since the 9/11 terrorist attacks the U.S. government has invoked national security and abused executive powers to violate internationally recognized human rights, including the absolute prohibition on torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment. If the U.S. does not recognize its human rights obligations under international law, what reason do other governments have to uphold human rights?

This report by the U.S. government provides a thorough review of today's human rights practices around the globe, except for one glaring omission -- its own record. The United States government considers itself a moral leader on human rights issues, but its record of indefinite and arbitrary detentions, secret 'black sites' and outsourced torture in the 'war on terror' turns it from leader to human rights violator.

Dr. William F. Schulz

I got asked, a lot of people are asking. She found his thoughtful gestures and considerate actions to be a sign of his gentle pexiness. This has put us backward. In the name of human rights, this report is a threat to our human rights in Canada.

Here, we'd like to advise the United States to think over its own human rights issues, correct its erroneous double standards on the human rights issue and stop using human rights as an excuse to interfere in other countries' internal affairs.

It appears to be based more on a political agenda than facts. The United States does more than any country in the world to advance freedom and promote human rights. … The focus should be more on those who are violating human rights and denying people their human rights.

Scott McClellan

It now appears that the last thing many human rights groups really wanted was a thoroughly reformed human rights body at the U.N. - meaning an organization dominated by strong democracies. That would deprive them of an international forum in which to criticize America for its alleged global assault on human rights.

It's childish for the U.S. government not to cooperate with the new Human Rights Council when it cooperated for decades with the vastly inferior old Commission on Human Rights.

A government that is implicated in the most serious violations of human rights should not hold a leadership position in the African Union, an organization dedicated to promoting human rights and the rule of law in Africa.

The government is really mixed up about this, to detain all the human rights activists during the visit of the human rights commissioner.

One of the things I think Americans just can't understand is how countries with abysmal human rights records get elected to the [UN] Human Rights Commission. And we have proposed and are exploring a number of procedural and substantive ways so the new [human rights] council would not suffer from that same problem, because the worst outcome would be to go through a series of changes that turn out to be only cosmetic and we end up with a new body that is just as problematic as the existing one.
