If there is ever a country that always yearns to publicize to the world, without being asked, the conditions of human rights; it is the United States. In its annual report on human rights, the US speculates what China or Russia did or what Venezuela or Eritrea didn’t and so on. But it never utters a single word about itself, or the rights of its people, or the rights of the people in Somalia, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan.
