US Human Rights Policy Unpopular: Egyptian NewspaperAn article carried in Ahram, Al, the most influential newspaper in Egypt, says that the US's ouster from the United Nations Human Rights Commission (UNHRC) fully indicates that the US policy on human rights is "wrong and unpopular."Diplomats of many countries in charge of the human rights issue hailed the voting off of the US from the UNHRC. Their reason is that what US has done always infringes the interests of the overwhelming majority of countries, especially those of the third world countries. For a long time, US has been favoring Israel and has been indifferent to Israel's atrocity in suppressing Palestinian civilians. According to the article, since becoming a member of the UNHRC, US has been bent on imposing on other countries its "narrow and self-centered" concept of the human rights issue. Many countries are deeply disappointed at and worried about the US double standards on the human rights issue and its interference in other countries' internal affairs by taking advantage of the human rights issue. |
