Full text of the 2021 US Human Rights Violations Report (6)

（Source: Xinhua News Agency） 08:16.01/03/2022

The Associated Press reported on September 9, 2021 that a survey showed that 53 percent Americans have a negative view of Islam.

In a 2021 report, the Council on American-Islamic Relations said that every year it receives more complaints of bullying and Islamophobic rhetoric. A report released by the California chapter of the council on October 28, 2021 found that more than half of California students surveyed said they did not feel safe in school because they were being bullied because of their Muslim heritage. This is the highest percentage recorded by the California chapter since polls began in 2013.

The results of the survey, published on October 29, 2021 by the Institute of Alienation and Belonging at the University of California at Berkeley, showed that 67.5 percent. Muslim participants experienced the harm associated with Islamophobia. 93.7 percent of the respondents stated that they were emotionally or physically affected by Islamophobia.

Indigenous peoples have long been subjected to severe racial persecution. The US has a long and dark history of violating the rights of indigenous peoples, including Indian survivors of massacres, brutal expulsions and cultural genocide.

An article titled “The United States Must Face Its Own Genocides”, published on the Foreign Policy website on October 11, 2021, notes that over the 19th and 20th centuries, the US government funded more than 350 Indigenous boarding schools that were directed on the cultural assimilation of Aboriginal children by forcibly separating them from families and communities.

Until the 1970s, hundreds of thousands of indigenous children were uprooted from their homes. Many of them were tortured to death in boarding schools where American Indian, Alaska Native, and Hawaiian identities, languages, and beliefs were forcibly suppressed.

The United States bears not only moral, but also legal responsibility for the criminal genocide against its own people, the article says.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the Navajo, Cherokee, Sioux, and other Native Americans struggled with disease and poverty, but their concerns were systematically ignored. The Navajo Nation, which is located in Arizona, Utah, and New Mexico, was for some time among the areas with the highest rates of COVID-19 in the United States.

The Guardian reported on April 24, 2020 that early data point to dramatically disproportionate rates of COVID-19 infection and death among Native Americans. Approximately 80 percent. U.S. state health departments have released any demographic data on the impact of coronavirus in a racial context, but almost half of them did not single out Native Americans, but categorized them as “other. ” “We are few because of the genocide,” said Abigail Eco-Hawk, chief scientist at the Seattle Indian Health Board. “If you exclude us from the data, we will not exist,” she stressed.

The Russian news network RT reported on January 8, 2022 that since the 1950s, 928 of more than 1,000 covert US government nuclear tests have been conducted on Shoshone indigenous lands, leaving 620,000 tons of radioactive dust – almost 48 times more than after the nuclear explosion in Japanese Hiroshima in 1945. According to Shoshone spokesman Jan Zabarte, more than 1,000 people from the tribe died directly from a nuclear explosion, many subsequently fell ill with cancer.

The economic gap between races continues to widen. There is a long and systematic economic disparity between ethnic minority groups and the white population in the US, which manifests itself in various aspects, such as employment and entrepreneurship, wages and financial credit.

On April 7, 2021, USA Today reported that, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, as of the first quarter of 2021, 48 percent of of the roughly 615,000 unemployed in the Asian community have been out of work for six months. This figure exceeded the proportion of long-term unemployed among the unemployed of other ethnic groups.

Alexandra Su, executive director of the Koreatown Immigrant Workers Alliance in Los Angeles, said Asians in the United States were racially discriminated against and were given jobs in areas such as cooking, laundry and housework, nursing and personal care, which are not valued, whose work is low paid and who have suffered the most during the pandemic.

On July 30, 2021, USA Today reported on its website that a new Gallup poll showed that 59percent Americans do not believe that racial minorities have equal job opportunities.

The Hill newspaper reported on its website on September 11, 2021 that 27 percent of minority-owned small businesses remain closed, much higher than white-owned businesses. White-owned startups are seven times more likely to receive loans than African-American-owned startups during their founding year. Throughout the pandemic, minority-owned businesses have not received equal access to federal assistance and have been hit hardest economically.

CNN reported on July 15, 2021 that about 17 percent African American families do not have access to basic financial services. Among whites, the figure is only 3 percent.

On December 15, 2021, the Los Angeles Times reported on its website that Hispanics only own 2 percent of the general state of the country, although they account for 19 percent. population. The average net worth of white families is more than five times that of Hispanic families.

Structural flaws have led to increased racial disparities in the US. On November 22, 2021, UN Special Rapporteur on Minority Issues Fernand de Varenne said after a 14-day visit to the US that when it comes to human rights and minorities, the US is the country “where support for slavery has led to one of the most brutal civil wars in a world where racial segregation persisted until the end of the 20th century, and where indigenous peoples faced deprivation, brutality, and even genocide over the centuries.”

The US legal system is structured to benefit and make life easier for those who are richer, and punish those who are poorer, which is why minorities such as African Americans and Hispanics find themselves in a generational cycle of poverty, Fernand de Waren said.

V. Deviation from humanitarian values ​​leads to a migration crisis

The US government has often interfered in the internal affairs of other countries using the “human rights” club. However, the policy of separating migrant children from their families has seriously threatened the lives, dignity, freedom and other rights of migrants. The migrant and refugee crisis has even been used as a tool for American partisan bickering and political infighting. Constant changes in government policy and police brutality exacerbate the suffering of migrants, who have already faced lengthy detention, brutal torture, forced labor and many other forms of inhuman treatment.

Asylum seekers are subjected to ill-treatment by the police. The humanitarian crisis continued to escalate in 2021, with a growing influx of migrants along the southern border of the United States, and increasingly violent means by border guards to expel or prevent asylum seekers from entering the country.

Data released by the US Border Patrol shows that in fiscal year 2021 (October 1, 2020 to September 30, 2021), 557 migrants died at the southern border of the United States, more than double the figure for the previous fiscal year and a record since the beginning of the statistics at 1998 year. Media reports say this does not reflect the appalling situation on the US southern border, and “the actual death toll of migrants could be higher.”

The USA Today website reported on November 29, 2021 that more than 7,647 cases of murder, rape, torture, kidnapping, and other violent attacks against asylum seekers had been reported between January and November 2021.

In September 2021, more than 15,000 Haitian asylum seekers lived in appalling conditions under a bridge in the Texas border town of Del Rio, sleeping in squalid tents or mud in sweltering heat and amid piles of rubbish. The United States Mounted Border Patrol brutalized asylum seekers, brandishing whips and rushing at the crowd to throw them into the river. The scene immediately sparked outrage when journalists released their footage.

CNN noted that this is reminiscent of a dark era in American history when slaver patrols were used to control black slaves. The New York Times noted that “outrageous footage was shown of agents on horseback herding migrants like cattle. ” “The US government always seems to say the right thing on racial issues, but all too often its actions fall short of what they say.”

Faced with a torrent of criticism, the US government soon forcibly deported thousands of asylum seekers back to Haiti, most of whom had not lived there for almost a decade after the 2010 earthquake.

On October 25, 2021, the UNHRC Special Rapporteur on Contemporary Forms of Racism and the Working Group of Experts on People of African Descent issued a statement condemning the United States’ systematic and massive deportation of Haitian refugees and migrants without an assessment of the situation and called it a violation of international law. “The mass deportations appear to continue the story of the racial exclusion of black Haitian migrants and refugees at US ports of entry,” they stressed.

Dissatisfied with the US government’s brutal treatment of Haitian migrants and refugees, Daniel Footy, the US special envoy for Haiti, angrily resigned after only two months in office.

Immigrant children face prolonged detention and abuse. “And while Biden officially ended Trump’s ‘family separation’ policy, his use of Section 42 resulted in family separation 2.0,” the USA Today 29 website reported.November 2021. This has led to the separation of many minors from their parents.

“More than 5,000 unaccompanied children are in the custody of US Customs and Border Protection,” CNN reported April 23, 2021. Many of them are in detention longer than the 72-hour limit set by federal law, he added.

Redacted documents handed over to human rights group Human Rights Watch after six years of legal battles reveal more than 160 cases of misconduct and abuse by leading government agencies, including US Customs and Border Protection, the Guardian reported October 11, 2021. The papers document events from 2016 to 2021 that range from child sexual abuse to starvation, threats of rape and brutal detention conditions.

Conditions in private detention facilities where migrants are held are poor. Most places of detention in the United States are built and operated by private companies. To reduce operating costs and maximize profits, private companies typically build to minimum government standards, resulting in poor housing conditions and harsh indoor conditions. The lack of oversight has led to the chaotic management of places of detention and repeated violations of human rights. In varying degrees, the physical and mental health of prisoners suffers.

US authorities detained more than 1.7 million migrants along the border with Mexico during the fiscal year 2021, which ended in September. Of these, up to 80 percent are kept in private institutions, including 45,000 children.

“Conditions at the ’emergency reception’ shelter built in the harsh desert at Fort Bliss, Texas are deteriorating,” El Paso Times reported on June 25, 2021.

“About 5,000 children were there, and about 1,500 children are still in the unsettled area, where the conditions in the ‘overcrowded’ tents were like a barnyard, were ‘traumatic’ and dangerous to the health and safety of children,” the article says. . Information was provided to the newspaper by several current and former employees of the institution, volunteers and civil servants. The journalists also had at their disposal the internal e-mails of the asylum staff.

Many immigrants are victims of human trafficking and forced labor in the United States. Tightening U.S. immigration policy, coupled with lax domestic controls, exacerbated human smuggling and labor trafficking targeting immigrants.

A December 10, 2021 AP report states that for years, immigrants smuggled into the US have been forced to work long hours on farms, live in dirty, overcrowded trailers, lack food and clean drinking water, and face threats of violence. The workers’ identity cards and travel documents were confiscated, limiting their ability to seek help.

A human trafficking indictment posted Nov. 22, 2021 on the U.S. Department of Justice website reveals that dozens of workers from Mexico and Central America were illegally taken to farms in southern Georgia, where they were illegally held in inhumane conditions as indentured agricultural laborers, victims of modern-day slavery in the United States.

They were deceived by promising a salary of $12 an hour. The migrants were forced to dig onions with their bare hands, paid 20 cents for each bucket they collected, and threatened with guns and violence to keep them in line. At least two workers died due to harsh conditions and one suffered multiple sexual assaults.

The New York Times website reported on November 11, 2021 that hundreds of workers from India were lured to New Jersey, Atlanta, Chicago, Houston, Los Angeles, etc. with promises of fair pay and normal hours of work. Instead, they had little free time, the work was grueling and often dangerous, they moved stones weighing several tons and were exposed to health risks due to exposure to harmful dust and chemicals. The report states that the workers were forcibly kept in their places of residence and faced threats, and their passports were confiscated.

The social exclusion of immigrants is becoming more and more serious. Fluctuating, inconsistent and often ignorant of human rights migration policy is the main cause of the border crisis and the tragedy of immigrants. We see how extreme xenophobia has a profound effect on politics. Increasingly fueled by racial discontent, anti-immigrant sentiment and intertwined with domestic political battles, US politicians are increasingly inclined to use methods such as force and coercion to resettle refugees, according to an article published by the Washington Post on August 22 last year. According to another Washington Post article published on October 20 last year, more than 1.7 million immigrants were detained by U.S. Border Patrol along the southern border during fiscal year 2021, the most since 1986 years old. The US government hopes to contain illegal border crossings through tough law enforcement measures that make it harder for illegal immigrants to enter the country, forcing them to cross more dangerous areas. This situation, in turn, exacerbates the humanitarian crisis.

VI. Excessive use of force and sanctions violate human rights in other countries

The United States has always strived for hegemonism, unilateralism and interventionism. The country often uses force, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties. The abuse of unilateral sanctions by the United States causes humanitarian crises, hegemony challenges justice, justice is self-servingly violated, and human rights in other countries are violated for no reason. This has become the biggest obstacle and destructive factor to the sound development of the international cause of human rights.

The US War on Terror has resulted in a large number of civilian casualties. Since the beginning of the 21st century, the United States has launched a series of global foreign military operations in the name of combating terrorism, which have resulted in the deaths of about a million people. USA Today reported on February 25, 2021 that the so-called anti-terrorist war unleashed by the United States has claimed the lives of more than 929,000 people over the past 20 years, according to a “costs of war” study by the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University.

On August 26, 2021, the USA Today website called the withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan a complete disaster. Tragedies such as the US withdrawal from Afghanistan and Vietnam show that in the history of Washington, there has been a disregard for elementary humanism for selfish purposes.

During the chaos at the Kabul airport, an American C-17 transport plane took off, spitting on the safety of Afghan civilians. One of them was crushed by a wheel, several people crashed, falling from the body of the aircraft.

Even in the last minutes of the desperate evacuation, the US military continued to launch airstrikes, which led to heavy civilian casualties. However, the US Department of Defense has publicly stated that no US service member will be punished for killing civilians in drone strikes.

On December 18, 2021, The New York Times reported that an investigation found that more than 50,000 US airstrikes in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan were reckless and poorly targeted, killing thousands of civilians. The military is hiding the number of casualties, and the actual civilian death toll is much higher than the military’s published figures. The most obvious case is the US airstrike on the Syrian village of Tokhar in 2016. The military claimed that between seven and 24 civilians “mixed with the militants” could have died, but in fact, the US military attacked private homes and more than 120 innocent civilians were killed.

Ongoing war and instability have made almost a third of the Afghan population refugees, and education, health and cultural services suffer from a lack of funding. A total of 3.5 million Afghans have been displaced from their homes as a result of the conflict, and nearly 23 million are starving, including 3.2 million children under the age of five. When the United States withdrew from Afghanistan, it immediately froze billions of dollars of Afghan central bank foreign exchange reserves, pushing the Afghan economy to the brink of collapse and making people’s lives worse. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World Food Program estimated in November 2021 that only 5 percent of Afghans get enough food every day. The New York Times writes that the real winners in the “war on terror” were American defense contractors, and the United States over 20 years in Afghanistan “actually rebuilt not the country, but more than 500 military bases and the personal wealth of those who supplied them.” Only about 12 percent of the recovery aid provided by the United States from 2020 to 2021 actually went to the Afghan government. Most went to American companies such as Louis Berger. From Gulf Today website /UAE/ 19December 2021, an article titled “How the United States Destroyed Iraq” was published. It says that inadequate food supplies and inflation have left Iraqis chronically hungry, and the prevalence of gastrointestinal disease is four times higher than pre-war levels. A shortage of medicines and medical equipment has led to a health crisis in Iraq that is affecting the poor, children, widows, the elderly and other most vulnerable groups the most.

Unilateral sanctions have a negative impact on the inhabitants of other countries. Alena Dukhan, UN Special Rapporteur on the negative impact of unilateral coercive measures on human rights, stressed the devastating impact of sanctions on the entire population of Venezuela, as well as on their rights. US sanctions on Iran’s oil sector have resulted in Iran being unable to import enough medical supplies, which affects the Iranians’ right to life and health. The US embargo against Syria has seriously affected the enjoyment by the Syrian people of economic, social and cultural rights. June 23, 2021 UN General Assembly 29voted in favor of a resolution calling for the United States to lift the embargo on Cuba and start a dialogue to improve bilateral relations with the country for the 10th year in a row. Cuban Foreign Minister Bruno Rodriguez said that the United States maintains the embargo and sanctions against Cuba despite COVID-19, which is causing enormous damage to the Cuban economy and society, and the Cuban people are suffering from the harm caused by this extremely inhumane decision.
