Innocent people of all ages are dying from starvation, lack of medical treatment and from fierce shelling in Sri Lanka.  PEOPLE ARE DYING.  There are so many crimes taking place in a confined space.  Women are being raped and killed.  The United States is standing by and watching the Sri Lankan government kill thousands of innocent Tamils in the name of fighting a war on terror.  There is NO HUMAN RIGHTS at present.  What is the U.S. government doing?  What is the UN doing?  What are the world leaders doing?  Just looking for now it seems.  Waiting for more innocent people to die?]]></description>

Foreign Affairs Treatises and International Trade Agreements Ammendments are due to enforce democratic  idiosincratitic profitable capitalizations on a global laizzes-faire modalite. <br />
<br />
The investments of the IMF's, the Securitization on the World Bank's and the M& A of the Corporate Financial Sector of PR and the US must achieve an International Consolidated Income Statement Corporate agreement for the Actual Current State of Affarirs in Foreign and International ROI per Capital Corp % of CMA's / GOP on R.E.I.T's /%CI%.  The democratic factor will foremost promote Human Rights leveraging for agreements and civil liberties, as infrastructure and  viabilizations on Human Capital, and its reliability factors within Human Capital Investments as per Assets.; (and its subsequent International U.S. Federal Taxation as per UCC Code & International U.S. Federal Taxation UCC Code.)<br />

      <description><![CDATA[Stacy in Massachusetts writes:<br />
<br />
I applaud the Secretary for coming out and issuing the findings in this report but it only underscores why the U.S. must continue to put diplomatic pressure on countries like China, when it comes to human rights.  We can work together with the Chinese on economic issues while also staying true to our principles of liberty, freedom and justice.   <br />
<br />
In addition, one can't separate economics from human rights -- China's use of child/slave labor, their lack of environmental regulations, lack of food and product safety regulations and safeguards and keeping the people of Tibet in a state of perpetual discrimination and poverty, all impact the U.S. economy in a very real way, which is why I was somewhat disappointed when Secretary Clinton remarked that controversial issues like human rights should not get in the way of moving forward with our economic alliance with China.<br />
<br />
Hillary Clinton always took the lead on these issues -- I just hope that as Secretary of State she continues to do so in a very tangible way.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Kenneth in Canada writes:<br />
<br />
I think that someone is having us all on, when their Human Rights agenda is selective. Why is it that that the U.S. attempts to throw dust in the eyes of people?  The U.S. condemned the Republiek van Suid Afrika because of its APARTHEID, yet overlooks many countries that are far worse. why?  Almost every Muslim country violates Human Rights, by denying religious freedoms, yet no action has been taken against them by the U.S.  Perhaps the U.S. government should explain to the world its reasons for this Double Standard.<br />
<br />
Of course, Canada this U.S's. next door neighbour permits Human Rights violations within its own borders in the province of Quebec.  Mind you Canada demanded sanctions against South Africa because of its APARTHEID, yet sees nothing wrong with Canadien APARTHEID being practiced in QUEBEC. <br />
<br />
If the U.S. is going to deal with issues such as Human Rights violations then be fair and condemn all who violate Human Rights, not just a few, and avoid condemning those that are considered friends or allies. In justice there are no friends or enemies, only the law must prevail.<br />
<br />
By the way, I have been a guest speaker on American Voice Radio and have been on it for close to three years. I do not hold back on any issue, because I consider myself a straight shooter.  So if you people want to see a better world, pull up your socks and go to it. I hope the Obama administration will change things for the better, because the world sorely needs people who will make things happen that will lead to a new DAWN of hope and prosperity.<br />
<br />
By the way, I am also into international politics and journalism.]]></description>

<br />
Beijing's conditions were that the U.S. will not raise tariffs against Chinese products and that Washington will desist from lambasting China's policy toward dissidents, Tibet and Xinjiang. Clinton signaled Washington's acceptance of these terms when she told reporters on her last day in China that human rights issues "will not interfere with" the more important agenda of cooperation with China on fronts such as finance, trade and the environment.<br />
<br />
It appears the U.S. is not serious about human rights in PRC.  This policy will ratify to CCP no changes need be contemplated.]]></description>

I think that apart Iran, Afghanistan and China which should be top priorities for the newly elected american authorities to set up a new world order basen on human rights respects and democracy, there is a need to consider the African continent in general which is growing into a no man's land and a sanctuary for radical terrorism and extremism let alone a fertile ground for drug-trafficking. Curbing this trend might help to better secure Human rights in our mainland]]></description>

I fully appreciate the U.S.A. effort to point issues but as asked and said during your press conference, I am surprised about the logic to what is more important compare to other issues. <br />
On one hand you need not to offend people for you can't change a situation when you do not have the ear of the people in charge.<br />
<br />
On the other hand, public statements have the upper hand and are loudly heard by all people as the policy that is dominant.]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Joe in Tennessee writes:<br />
<br />
BEIJING, Feb 26 (Reuters) - China denounced on Thursday U.S. criticism of its human rights record in an annual tit-for-tat exchange, saying the United States should put its own house in order first.<br />
<br />
While this does have some viable reality, we must also recognize time lines and the gains in some countries, as China, Russia and the Middle East.<br />
<br />
In less than two decades China has given more freedoms in Religion, work, independent enterprise then we have with equality within our framework.  Russia has done the same.  In the Middle East a female,  HE Sheikha Lubna Al Qasimi, is the UAE Foreign Trade Minister...things are changing as money and communications between cultures interchange.  It is the productive result of Free Trade.   <br />
<br />
False governments will not be able to keep their people from human rights in the near future unless they suppress them fiscally.  If they do that, they will not be able to grow and continue in turmoil.<br />
<br />
Part of being American is the immediate gratification we have all grown to expect.  Even now, with the economic situation, the hardest hurdle is the time it will take to correct it all.  It is the same with the rest of the world.  They will change and governments adapt out of necessity, given time.  Even with Russia, the Nationalistic protectionism method will continue to see more human rights than the cold war era?which was not that long ago in actuality.<br />
<br />
When the world fiscal system is developed properly, all peoples will reap the rewards of more productive lives and freedoms.<br />
<br />
Win the respect of the many....]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[SNP in Syria writes:<br />
<br />
There is an unfortunate inadvertent error in this report. Syria, Islamic Republic of Iran and North Korea (DPRK) are listed. Please correct this oversight.<br />
<br />
FYI, the god sent leader is infallible and that is a proven fact, look at how North Korea progress ahead of all nations in Asia, so as the Supreme Mullah in Iran, did you pay attention to that rudimentary firecracker launched to orbit last month, this grand task requires so much knowledge, only a freshmen at Cal Tech could possess. As to Syria, it is a government from the people to for the people (peasant and worker) others according to Baath party are not really people, they are IKTAI, SUHYOONI, RAASMALI, INTIHAZI, IMPERIALI and the worst, AGENT OF AMERICA (Agent of the Great Satan for the Mullahs).<br />
<br />
Not sure why the Ayatollah and Assad are begging for America direct talks when the above is all what you hear and read in the local media and any local that even dares to talk to America directly is jailed, put on trial for treasonous acts and worse. It is a bit confusing for local citizens.]]></description>
