Pakistan rubbishes US 'politicised, double standard' human rights report
[GEO.TV] As the US State Department released its country-wise analysis of the human rights situation, Pakistain has categorically rejected the contents of the "2023 Country Report on Human Rights Practices", terming it "unfair, based on inaccurate information and completely divorced from the ground reality".

"The US State Department’s annual exercises of preparing such unsolicited reports lack objectivity and remain inherently flawed in their methodology," Foreign Office (FO) spokesperson Mumtaz Zahra Baloch said in a statement on Thursday.

"These reports use a domestic social lens to judge human rights in other countries in a politically biased manner. This year’s report is once again conspicuous by its lack of objectivity and politicisation of the international human rights agenda."

She added: "It clearly demonstrates double standards thus undermining the international human rights discourse."

Pointing out the US "double standards" on grave humanitarian issues, Baloch said: "It is deeply concerning that a report purported to highlight human rights situations around the world ignores or downplays the most urgent hotspots of gross human rights violations such as in Gaza
Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
 and Indian Illegally Occupied Jammu and Kashmir (IIOJK)."

Only a politically motivated report, she said, could ignore the alarming situation in Gaza, the weaponisation of humanitarian assistance and the massacre of over 33,000 civilians. "Silence of the United States on the continuing genocide in Gaza runs counter to the stated objectives behind the so-called country reports on human rights."
