The United States committed serious violations of human rights in the Middle East and other places

China Human Rights Research Association

August 2022

The United States committed a series of serious violations of international law such as war crimes, harmful human crimes, arbitrary detention, abuse of torture, prison abuse, and abuse of unilateral sanctions in the Middle East and its surrounding areas, which constituted a systematic sexual violation of human rights and durable And far. The crimes in the United States not only led to war in the Middle East and other places, the war was frequent, and the conflict was still trapped in conflict quagmires and security dilemma, but also caused serious damage to the local people's right to life, health, personality dignity, and freedom of religious beliefs, and the right to survive and development.

1. Movement of war, slaughter civilians, damage the right to life and life

American historian Paul Atwood pointed out in the book "War and Empire: The Lifetime of the United States" published in 2010: "War is the lifestyle of Americans." Less than 20 years is a veritable "war empire." After the Cold War ended, there were almost always the United States in all major conflicts and wars in the Middle East and its surrounding areas, and they became the hardest hit areas of the US foreign war. According to the statistics of the American Smith Society Magazine, since 2001, the war and military operations launched by the United States in the name of "anti -terrorism" have covered "about 40%of the countries on the planet". The United States not only gathers allies to launch the Gulf War (1990-1991), Afghanistan War (2001-2021), Iraq war (2003-2011), etc., and also participated in the Libyan War and the Syrian War in depth, creating rare humanitarianism in the world. disaster. Poor soldiers have caused direct, serious and lasting harm to the right to life and living rights to regional people.

First, violate international law to mobilize war. The Afghanistan war and Iraq war are two largest wars launched by the United States in the Middle East and its surroundings, causing a serious disaster to the safety and survival of the people of the two countries. The research on the "war" project of the University of Brown University pointed out that more than 174,000 people died directly in the Afghan war, of which more than 47,000 were civilians. The UN Refugee Agency said that the Afghanistan, which lasted for nearly 20 years, caused 2.6 million Afghan people to escape abroad and 3.5 million people. In 2003, the United States bypassed the United Nations, violated the basic principles of international law forbidden to use force, and launched the Iraq war on the grounds of fabrication, constituting an aggression against Iraq. According to the global statistics database, from 2003 to 2021, about 209,000 Iraqi civilians died of war and violent conflicts, and about 9.2 million Iraqi people became refugees or forced to leave their homeland. The United States launched the right of life and survival of the people in the Middle East and other places to severely damage the people of the region.

Second, trample on international law to kill innocent civilians. In order to achieve its own military purposes, the United States regards the life of civilians in other countries. The first is that the United States has repeatedly attacked the local people such as the Middle East. On August 12, 2005, a US armored patrol vehicle shot from the mosque in the mosque in the town of the Malaysia in the suburbs of Iraq, causing 15 Iraqi people including 8 children to be killed and 17 were injured. On November 21 of the same year, the U.S. troops stationed in Iraq fired at a civilian car northern Baghdad, causing a family of 5 to die, including three children. The United Nations Investigation Commission accused the U.S. forces of "launching no different attacks in the Syrian region, leading to civilian casualties, and regardless of the consequences, it constituted the crime of war." The report released by the United Nations in September 2019 pointed out that many air strikes that the United States -led coalition forces in Syria and other places "did not take necessary prevention measures to distinguish military goals and civilians." Second, the United States has widely adopted air strikes for the so -called "anti -terrorism", often "killing" civilians, hurting innocence, and arbitrarily depriving life. The New York Times reported that based on the investigation of the confidential documents of the Pentagon, the frequent air strikes launched in Syria due to "serious intelligence defects" and "error aiming" caused a large number of civilian casualties. Punishment. In 2017, the U.S. military launched the so -called "most accurate air strikes" against the Syrian city. The US Think Tank Land Company issued a report that the U.S. military operations caused a total of 38 civilian casualties, causing 178 civilians to be killed and dozens of people were injured. Some human rights organizations estimate that the number of civilian casualties may be as many as 1,600. On March 18, 2019, when the U.S. military dispatched drones to find the "extremist organization" target at the town of Bagulz on the Syrian -Iraqi border, at least 64 civilian women and children were killed. In February 2022, the U.S. military launched a raid in Idlib, Syria, killing at least 13 people, including six children and 3 women. On August 29, 2021, the UAV attacks carried out in Kabul, the capital of Afghanistan, killed 10 local civilians, including 7 children. Third, U.S. military contractors kill civilians for no reason. The United States is accustomed to using military contractors to implement hegemony in the Middle East, and their illegal and criminal acts they implement locally often escape accountability. In 2007, the employees of the US Black Water Corporation killed in the Plaza of Baghdadonier, causing 14 civilian deaths including 2 children, and at least 17 were injured. In 2020, then US President Trump pardoned employees of Black Water Company who had committed war in Iraq. The UN Human Rights Commissioner's mercenaries issued a statement stating that the U.S. government's behavior impact on the international humanitarian law and human rights is an insult to justice and victims and their families. One line. The U.S. military's absence of frequent slaughter of civilians overseas undoubtedly constitutes the crime of harm to humanity. Third, indirect participation in war leads to a large number of civilian casualties. The United States has widely supported agents in the Middle East and other places, selling weapons in large quantities, causing large -scale humanitarian disasters. The United States has participated in the Syrian war and Libya's domestic conflicts by supporting multiple agents, which has caused local war and conflict to delay. Former Chairman of the Libya National Transition Commission, Jeller said that the continuous civil strife has caused many Libyan people to die, "and the consequences of the United States are not concerned about the consequences of military operations and war." According to the data released by the United Nations, the US military intervention has caused at least 350,000 people in Syria to lose their lives, more than 12 million people have been displaced, and 14 million civilians urgently need humanitarian assistance. The Syrian refugee issue was called "the biggest refugee crisis in our time" by the United Nations.

Faced with the quagmire of the Afghanistan and Iraq war, the US government, which launched the war, has repeatedly chose irresponsible evacuation for its own self -interest, disregarding the most basic humanitarianism, which led to the long -term conflict and chaos of the country worse. The United States destroyed Iraq's original national machines with force, which led to a decline in the Iraqi government's control capabilities and providing space and conditions for terrorist expansion. In 2011, the United States was withdrawn from Iraq irresponsiblely, causing extreme organizations such as "Islamic State" to take advantage of the situation, frequent terror attacks, becoming the biggest challenge to endanger the security of Iraq and the region. In August 2021, the United States also withdrawn from Afghanistan irresponsible from Afghanistan, and ignored the lives of Afghan people again during the evacuation process, causing many shocking casualties.

Second, forced transformation, unilateral sanctions, infringement of development rights and health rights

The United States wants to suppress the country and organizations in the Middle East and other places, forced the implementation of American values, and ensure that the United States -led global political and economic order and security order. It is to change the independent development path of regional countries, and seriously damage the sovereignty of the country and other countries in the Middle East and the development of health and health.

First, subvert the regime, interfere in the internal affairs, and infringe on the sovereignty and human rights of other countries. On the one hand, after the Cold War ended, in order to comprehensively dominate the Middle East and other places, the United States did not accept the country's aspirations and interests of the region, and directly promoted the power of the regime by mobilizing the war, and then forced the transplantation of "American democracy" to transform the relevant countries of the relevant countries. System and development path. The most typical is that in 2001 and 2003, the United States overturned its unwanted regime through armed invasion against Afghanistan and Iraq. On the other hand, the United States has long supported non -governmental organizations and agents to infiltrate the Middle East society, and has repeatedly used the "color revolution" to change the development path of the Middle East country. As the US government interfered with the "horse strokes" and "white gloves" of different domestic affairs and incite division confrontation, the National Democratic Foundation served the US strategic interests, and carried out long -term penetration and subversive activities to the Middle East countries, leaving spots. The organization relies on the continuous financial support of the White House and the US Congress. In accordance with the order of the U.S. government, by providing funding to pro -American individuals and groups, in Egypt, Yemen, Jordan, Algeria, Syria, Libya and other countries, it is "Arab Spring "An important behind -the -scenes black hand. The United States tries to establish a fragile, dependent regime by transforming regional countries, and serving its global hegemony. The "institutional output" of the United States not only has deep hegemonicism, but also destroys the efforts of the regional national independent exploration of development, causing a series of catastrophic consequences. The "mandatory transformation" of the United States on Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya and other countries has caused the political order and social stability of these countries to be broken, and social unity and national cohesion have been destroyed. This behavior of overthrowing other countries, interference in other countries, and the so -called "democracy" of the so -called "democracy" with force not only violates the basic criteria for the use of forbidden use of force and does not interfere in the internal affairs, but also seriously violates the rights and the right to choose the path of development of the development of the people in the relevant countries. Basic human rights.

Second, unilateral sanctions have caused serious economic losses and the quality of life of the people. The United States can be called the world's only "sanctions superpower". According to the US Treasury's "2021 Sanctions Evaluation Report", as of fiscal 2021, the number of sanctions in the United States has reached more than 9,400. Since 1979, the United States has imposed various unilateral sanctions on Iran and other countries for a long time. In 1996, the so -called "Damato Act" was thrown, and foreign companies were prohibited from investing in Iran and Libya's energy industry, and the "long -arm jurisdiction" with great harm and far -reaching "long -arm jurisdiction" was implemented. Since then, the US sanctions on Iran have increased and upgraded step by step. During the Trump administration, the US Trump administration also imposed sanctions on Iran and "extreme pressure", in an attempt to overturn the Iranian regime with pressure to promote changes. President Iranian Ruhani said that the Trump administration's sanctions caused at least $ 200 billion in economic losses to Iran. From 1980 to 1992, the United States imposed unilateral sanctions on Libya; from 1992 to 2003, the United States coerced and attracted allies to expand unilateral sanctions on Libya. The World Bank pointed out that Libya's economic losses suffered as much as $ 18 billion in sanctions, and Libya officials believed that sanctions caused it to lose $ 33 billion. After the First Gulf War, the United States imposed brutal unilateral sanctions on Iraq, causing serious consequences. From August 1990 to May 2003, sanctions caused Iraqi oil revenue to lose $ 150 billion. To this day, Iraq's per capita annual income has not reached the level of 1990 ($ 7050). In addition, sanctions also caused severe humanitarian disasters in Iraq. Iraq's infant mortality rate doubled, and the mortality rate for children under the age of five increased by 6 times. At the same time, Iraq's education, medical, and social security systems were destroyed, and the literacy rate dropped from 89%in 1987 to 57%in 1997.

After the United States withdrew from Afghanistan in 2021, it not only imposed economic sanctions on Afghanistan, but also frozen the billions of dollars in the Central Bank of Afghanistan's central bank, which caused Afghanistan's economy on the verge of collapse, and people's lives were worse. Officials of the World Grain Program pointed out that the United States' economic sanctions on Afghanistan have exacerbated the local food crisis. "98%of Afghan people can't eat enough food, and children under half -age will fall into severe malnutrition." However, on February 11, 2022, US President Biden signed an administrative order, asking for the average of about $ 7 billion in the central bank of Afghanistan, half as the source of funds for the victims of the victims of the "September 11" incident, and the other half, and the other half It was transferred to an account of the New York Federal Reserve Bank to help the "Afghan people", and at the same time, it clearly stated that these assets will not return the Taliban regime. The hegemony of the US government's publicly robbing Afghan people's property was generally condemned by the international community. Professor Drezna, a professor at the University of Tofz, published an article in the "Foreign Affairs" magazine that the previous governments of the United States have abused economic coercion and economic violence and regarded sanctions as the preferred plan to solve foreign issues. Humanitarian disaster. The United States' unilateral sanctions imposed by the government in the Middle East and other places, which eventually hurt the ordinary people of these countries, seriously damaged the development of the development of the sanctions country and the public.

Third, create a humanitarian crisis and seriously damage the right to life and health of the people of the country. The Gulf War in the United States and the Iraq war and subsequent violence have destroyed a large number of infrastructure Iraq. The national public service capabilities have greatly reduced. Children, widows, and elderly people, the most vulnerable groups. Taking the health department as an example, after the Gulf War, Iraq's medical level declined very obviously. In 1990, 97%of Iraq's urban population and 71%of the rural population enjoyed public medical services. After the Iraq war in 2003, about 20,000 local doctors fled, and a large number of medical facilities were destroyed in the war. Due to the damage caused by the US military bombing to power plants and water treatment facilities, the number of diarrhea is 4 times the pre -war. Nine of the 13 hospitals in Mosul, the second largest city in Iraq, were destroyed, and 1.8 million cities have only 1,000 available beds. In addition, when the United States launched the Iraq war, it used a large amount of depleted uranium bombs to cause huge damage to the health of local residents, and seriously violated the health rights of the local people. The U.S. government ignored the spread of the new crown pneumonia in the world, and was still stubbornly insisted on imposing unilateral sanctions on Iran, Syria and other countries, making it difficult for the sanctioned countries to obtain medical supplies required to resist the epidemic in time. Michelle Bachelet, a senior commissioner of Human Rights in the United Nations in 2020, pointed out that sanctions will hinder anti -epidemic medical cooperation and increase risks to everyone; Rights and life should relax or suspend sanctions in special fields. Due to sanctions, Iran cannot import basic drugs and medical equipment, which seriously affects the health of millions of Iranians. The Iranian government applied to the International Monetary Fund for a $ 5 billion anti -epidemic special loan for the International Monetary Fund, but was blocked by the United States. The United States hinders Iran's import of new crown vaccines by frozen Iranian overseas funds and threatening vaccine suppliers. In 2020, Iran said that it had tried to pay for the vaccine in accordance with the WHO's new crown vaccine implementation plan (COVAX), but they could not pay due to US sanctions and restrictions. The Brookings Institute in the United States estimates that during the worst period of the Iranian epidemic, the influence of the continued impact on the United States has further intensified, which may lead to as many as 13,000 people.

3. Create a "civilized conflict", abuse imprisonment and torture, infringe the freedom of religious belief and personality dignity

The United States does not respect the diversity of civilization, hostile Islamic civilization, destroy the historical and cultural heritage of the Middle East, arbitrarily imprison Muslims and torture, and seriously violates the basic human rights of the people in the Middle East and other places.

First, the "Islamic threat theory" is scattered worldwide. The United States advocates Western civilization and Christian civilization superior theory, despise non -Western civilization from the bones, stigmatize Islamic civilization, label "backward", "horror" and "violent" to Islamic civilization, and use the "September 11" incident. The "Islamic threat theory" is rendered worldwide, deliberately misleading and even inciting people to hostile Islam, discriminating against Muslims, provoking "civilized conflict", and launching the global anti -terrorism war to prepare and defend. The "Islamic phobia" made by the United States once was flooded in the United States and other Western countries, which seriously damaged the national dignity and international image of the Islamic countries, and violated the freedom of human freedom and religious belief in Muslims. Under the obstruction of the United States, the legitimate national rights and reasonable demands of the Palestinian people have not been resolved for a long time, and peace, development and human rights cannot be talked about.

Second, destroy the cultural heritage of ancient civilization in the Middle East. The United States pursues Western centralism, advocates "democracy and peace" and "democratic transformation theory", ignoring the long history and splendid history of the Middle East civilization. After the U.S. military launched the Iraq war, its military operations directly caused regime change, social turmoil, and long -term war. More seriously, during the U.S. military invasion and occupation, the Iraqi capital Baghdad was once in an unwilling state. The Iraqi museums were listed as one of the 11 major museums in the world by UNESCO. At the historical stage, 170,000 treasures of ancient art and civilization essence were plundered, and human civilization was tragic. According to international laws such as the "Marine Regulations and Customs Convention" and the Geneva Convention, the occupation party should maintain the social order of the occupied area. After the U.S. military occupied Baghdad, it did not take timely measures. With the pretext of the so -called police as an excuse to avoid the international law obligations of social law, it led to the largest cultural destruction case in human history. Deputy Director of the Iraqi Museum accused in 2003: the U.S. military responded to all the responsibility that happened. In addition, the United States suppressed, insulted, and bullied the Middle East country, destroyed the cultural self -confidence of the Middle East and the people, and destroyed the national pride and self -confidence of the people of the Middle East.

Third, the prison abuse and torture seriously damage the right to Muslim's personality dignity. Since the United States has launched the Global War of Counter -Terrorism, the scandal against Muslim's prisoner is endless. The research on the "War" project of Brown University in the United States pointed out that after the "September 11" incident, the United States set up a "black prison" overseas under the guise of "anti -terrorism", involving at least 54 countries and regions, and detained including Muslims, women and minors. Hundreds of thousands of people, including people. As early as 2003, the U.S. military abused the detainees in the Abu Grab prison in Iraq. Many of them were detained innocently and even caused a lot of death, which seriously violated the International Human Rights Law. The United States has also created the Guantanamo Prison for detention of "terrorists" from the Middle East and other places. A total of about 780 people have been detained, and many of them have not been prosecuted by criminal prosecution. At present, there are still more than 30 people in the prison. They have entered the twilight years, their bodies are weak, and they have been deprived of freedom for a long time and endured spiritual and physical torture. In the Guantanamo Prison, in addition to extensive abuse and torture, American personnel also tortured the prisoners by blame the Gulan and violated Islamic beliefs, including throwing the "Gulan" into the toilet. Let the female guards monitor naked prisoners in the bathroom, which triggered collective protests and even committed suicide collectively. In September 2021, the United States' prison and prison abuse in the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan were exposed by the media. Investigation evidence of the International Criminal Court shows that the U.S. military ignores international axioms and trample on international standards in Afghanistan. The prisoners who were tortured were hidden in the hidden area and let them go for self -destruction, covering the prisoners on the eye mask to show him a naked parade, and so on. The US military's insulting and cruel abuse of prisoners seriously violated their basic rights, and also violated the obligation of torture and other brutal, inhumane or personality benefits based on the prohibition of torture and other brutal, inhumane or personality of the United States. Facts show that the United States has seriously violated the basic human rights of the local people in the Middle East and other places, causing permanent damage and incomparable losses to regional countries and people. The essence of hegemony in the United States and the brutality, cruelty, and harmfulness of the power of power and politics have also made the people of the world more recognize the hypocrisy and deception of "American democracy" and "American human rights".
