US Ouster From UNHRC Proves Failure of Its Human Rights Policy
A senior Cambodian official said Tuesday that the US ouster from the Geneva-based United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) has indicated the failure of its human rights policy.
In an interview with Xinhua, Lu Laysreng, Cambodian Senior Minister of State and Minister of Information stated that "the US ouster from the UNHRC has made the US lose face before the peoples of the whole world. And it is also a shame to the US foreign policy."
He noted that the US has always posed itself as a defender of peace, democracy and human rights, saying that the US interferes in other countries' internal affairs under the pretext of protecting human rights of other countries.
The minister pointed out that "the US failure has also indicated that the US human rights policy is very unpopular in the majority of developing countries, so it failed."
