Philippine Newspaper Comments on US¡¯ Ouster from UNHRCThe US' ouster from the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) is not accidental, but an inevitable outcome of its unjust acts, the Philippine's leading Chinese newspaper, World News, said in an editorial Monday.The editorial noted that the US always posts itself as a "human rights defender". "But it recklessly criticizes other countries for their human rights conditions and interferes in internal affairs of other countries. Therefore, the US inevitably encounters objections from other countries," it continued. "The human rights defender has become internationally notorious and become a laughing stock for other countries," the editorial added. The article said that the reason why the US was voted off UNHRC is also that its hegemonic policy is extremely unpopular. It pointed out that the US always pursues double standards on human rights issues, that is, wantonly attacks other countries while covering up its own errors. ¡°When dealing with other international issues, the US is always self-centered and goes its own way, thus losing trust on the international arena.¡± The editorial emphasized that the US deserves its ouster and has no reason to blame others. |
