News Analysis on U.S. Human Rights Abuses in Other Countries

Pyongyang, March 5 (KCNA) -- The United States is a criminal state violating human rights everywhere in the world.

The "war on terrorism", expanded to Pakistan after Afghanistan and Iraq by the U.S. for 10-odd years, has led to slaughters of innocent civilians.

In Afghanistan, the "war" has claimed more than 3 000 lives on a yearly average in recent years.

In five years from March 2003 when the U.S. invaded Iraq, at least 1 205 000 Iraqis were killed and one million missing, nearly half of them being children.

The U.S. has slaughtered many civilians by drone strikes in Pakistan.

The war of genocide by GIs has gone in company with heinous atrocities, arousing a great wrath among the world people.

In January 2012, a video was posted on an Internet website to show four U.S. marines urinating toward three dead Afghani prisoners with vulgar remarks. And in March a GI shot to death 16 civilians including sleeping women and children in houses. Among the GIs are criminals who were keeping some 4 000 photographs on their murderous deeds as a boast.

The U.S. has conducted maltreatment, torture and vivisection against the prisoners in its secret jails abroad, in wanton violation of international law on human rights and humanitarianism.

As exposed at the 64th UN General Assembly in 2009 and other international meetings and by American media, including Washington Post and New York Times, the U.S. has employed all sorts of tortures in overseas prisons such as forced feeding, electric drill torture and sexual torture prohibited by international law.
