The Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America-Peoples Trade Agreement (ALBA-TCP) categorically rejected the unilateral report of the Department of State of the Government of the United States (USA) on Human Rights.
“The Executive Secretariat of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) categorically rejects the unilateral Report of the Department of State of the Government of the United States of America on Human Rights, published on April 12, 2022 », expresses part of a statement published by the block, this Friday.
The executive secretary of ALBA-TCP, Sacha Llorenti, released the document, which emphasizes that the report “represents an interference in the internal affairs of the States.”
Likewise, it underlines that “the pseudo country report on human rights practices for the year 2021 has been prepared by a State that has imposed, for more than 60 years, a genocidal and illegal economic, commercial and financial blockade against a country, intensified deliberately in a pandemic scenario, which constitutes a prolonged, flagrant and systematic violation of the human rights of an entire people.
Below is the full content of the statement:
“The Executive Secretariat of the Bolivarian Alliance for the Peoples of Our America – Peoples’ Trade Treaty (ALBA-TCP) categorically rejects the unilateral Report of the Department of State of the Government of the United States of America on Human Rights, published on April 12, 2022.
The pseudo Country Report on Human Rights Practices for the year 2021 has been prepared by a State that has imposed, for more than 60 years, a genocidal and illegal economic, commercial and financial blockade against a country, deliberately intensified in a scenario of a pandemic, which constitutes a prolonged, flagrant and systematic violation of the human rights of an entire people.
The preparation of the annual report, for almost five decades, represents an interference in the internal affairs of the States that seeks to establish itself as an instrument to qualify the policies of the countries in the field of human rights.
A State that applies unilateral coercive measures against the peoples and Governments of the world and carries out disinformation and discredit campaigns to harm other States, in addition to not reviewing its internal situation, cannot aspire to give lessons on human rights.
The Executive Secretary of ALBA-TCP reiterates her rejection of the aforementioned Report, which lacks moral and technical rigor and is used opportunistically to attack other States. Likewise, it makes a call to reject these interventionist actions and ratifies its commitment to the promotion, respect and comprehensive defense of human rights.
