USA: is it arbitrariness in the name of democracy?

International human rights organization “Amnesty International” has published an annual report on the situation of human rights in the world. According to The Daily Telegraph, part of the document (paid access) is devoted to human rights violations in the United States. In particular human rights activists note that the operation to destroy Osama bin Laden in May 2011 was no more than a non-judicial punishment, carried out in violation of international law. Bin Laden, who is known as the organizer of the September 11 attacks, was never formally charged with committing the crime. Evidence of his complicity was not presented to the public and any legal proceeding in his case was conducted.

The second case of non-judicial killings carried out by the Americans, human rights activists called the murder of U.S. citizen Anwar al-Awlaki in Yemen, September 30, 2011. Radical Imam deliberately killed by a missile, fired by the U.S. drone. This had been done without a court decision that would have authorized the execution.

“Amnesty International” also drew attention to the reluctance of the U.S. government to prosecute those persons who authorized the CIA officers the use of torture and illegal detentions of citizens of other countries. According to human rights activists, one of the persons who deserve to be in the dock is a former U.S. President George Bush Jr.

U.S. authorities have been criticized by Amnesty International’s in unwillingness and / or the inability to close the illegal prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, as well as the continued use of the death penalty to punish criminals.

In connection with the report of the human rights organization there are a number of issues which The Daily Telegraph does not apply.

The first question. Will there be sent to the U.S. the UN Special Rapporteurs on Human Rights on torture and political prisoners?

The second question. Does “Amnesty International” believe of Guantanamo detainees as political prisoners?

The third question. Is it the non-judicial execution a crime i.e. a murder sanctioned by the state?

The fourth question. Why should  for the murder of Osama bin Laden and Anwar al Awlaki, torture and other lawlessness in recent years be responsible before the court George Bush Jr. and not Barack Obama?

The fifth question. How does the European Parliament react on the lawlessness in the U.S.? Will be targeted sanctions applied?

The sixth question. Whether have noted the U.S. State Department’s annual report on human rights in the world above-mentioned crimes or the United States does not belong to this world?

The seventh question. After that the recommendation to take part in a U.S. State Department human rights report, after reviewing the human rights organization?

The seventh question. How does the U.S. State Department report in part of human rights recommendation perceive after reviewing the human rights organization?
