US Hegemonic Behavior Leads to Its Ouster from UNHRC: S'pore NewspaperThe Bush Administration's arrogant and hegemonic behavior has led to the US' ouster from the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC), Singapore's leading Chinese newspaper Lianhe Zaobao said in an editorial Monday.Noting that the US was voted off the UNHRC in the ballot involving European countries, the editorial said that the result of the ballot demonstrated that the US position on human right not only meets objections from developing and non-western-countries but also fails to convince and woo European countries. The US failure to gain votes from European allies in the UNHRC ballot had self-evident linkage to the Bush Administration's arrogant, hegemonic and supercilious behavior toward other countries, the editorial emphasized. In analyzing why there has been increasing worldwide disgust at US behavior concerning human rights, the editorial said this is because the US posts itself as human rights judge, meddles too much in other countries' human rights affairs, imposes its own standard, love and hate on other countries to judge others' performance in the human rights field. It also pointed out that US does not genuinely concern over people's rights and welfare in other countries while it takes up the human rights matter in other countries. It usually acts out of its political motives, the editorial said, and it is worldwide-known that the US turns out much propaganda against China over China's human rights affairs when it wants to teach China a lesson. The editorial said that the ouster from the UNHRC is face- losing to the US, especially to the Bush administration, and what the US should do now is to make a sincere self-examination instead of taking actions to retaliate or punish the UN such as vowing to suspend the payment of its membership dues owed to the United Nations. |
