United States: Most Violations of Human Rights

Ever wonder how awful the good ol' U.S. of A is? Well wonder no more! With a list of all the human rights violations by the United States published by the North Koreans you can see why "The U.S. is a living hell".

In February there was an extensive list put out by the U.N. that covered all the human rights being violated in the DPRK. The report was compiled with 320 interviews with people who survived, or escaped the secret prison camps in North Korea. Their conclusion was: "...the country was committing human rights violations without any parallel in the contemporary world."(Washington post) 

After the list was released the Koreans were infuriated. They think that they can still keep what they are doing behind closed doors a secret. Their retaliation included arguing back to the United Nations, and then later the KCNA (Korean Central News Agency) published an article titled "New Analysis on Poor Human Rights Records in U.S." in which they filled with their own list of violations of human rights in the west. This was their feeble attempt at getting back at the U.N.. Filled with "Indignant anger" the North released this list of what violations are happening in the United States:

• "Under the citizenship act, racialism is getting more severe in the U.S. The gaps between the minorities and the whites are very wide in the exercise of such rights to work and elect."
• "The U.S. true colors as a kingdom of racial discrimination was fully revealed by last year's case that the Florida Court gave a verdict of not guilty to a white policeman who shot to death an innocent black boy."
• "That's why 52 percent of the Americans have said that racism still exists in the country while 46 percent contended that all sorts of discrimination would be everlasting." 
• "The U.S. is a living hell as elementary rights to existence are ruthlessly violated." 
• "At present, an average of 300,000 people a week are registered as unemployed, but any proper measure has not been taken." 
• "The housing price soared 11.5 percent last year than 2012 and 13.2 percent in January this year than 2013, leaving many people homeless." 
• "The number of impoverished people increased to 46.5 millions last year, and one sixth of the citizens and 20-odd percent of the children are in the grip of famine in New York City." 
• "All sorts of crimes rampant in the U.S. pose a serious threat to the people's rights to existence and their inviolable rights."
• "The U.S. government has monitored every movement of its citizens and foreigners, with many cameras and tapping devices and even drones involved, under the pretext of 'national security.'"
• "Meanwhile, bills on easing arms control were adopted in various states of the country, boosting murderous crimes. As a result, the U.S. has witnessed an increasing number of gun-related crimes in all parts of the country and even its military bases this year. In this regard, the United Nations on April 10 put the U.S. on the top of the world list of homicide rates."
• "The U.S. also has 2.2 millions of prisoners at present, the highest number in the world. For lack of prisons on the part of the government, individuals are providing detention facilities to make money." 
• "A Russian TV said that in the U.S. the wealthy classes are now keen on the investment in providing private prisons for their high profit and so more people will be imprisoned."
• "Its chief executive, Obama, indulges himself in luxury almost every day, squandering hundred millions of dollars on his foreign trip in disregard of his people's wretched life."

The North Koreans are not only mad at the United States, but also South Korea. They released another report saying that because they have been "deprived of everything thanks to America" the South has "the worst human rights situation in the world"

“Over 60% of university students cannot afford their school fees so must work [to make ends meet]," the newspaper said, according to a translation from Daily NK. "Some even have to subject their bodies to medical trials."

This is almost embarrassing for the DPRK because the rest of the world in not going to take these reports seriously.
