Human Rights Watch: The Trump administration is a threat to human rights – Mehr news agency RCO News Agency

According to Mehr news agency, quoted by Al-Mayadeen, Philip Boulobion, the executive director of the Human Rights Watch organization, considered the return of Donald Trump to the White House as an “unprecedented threat” to human rights and emphasized that America is witnessing a very rapid collapse of democracy with direct international consequences.

In an interview with Euronews, Boulobion said that the deterioration of the human rights situation in the world continues, but the “speed of the fall of the American democratic system” in just one year is surprising.

He added that the Trump administration is moving against the entire structure of human rights and is pursuing a multi-pronged attack on American democracy through efforts to limit the independence of judges, journalists, academic institutions and large corporations, and to undermine reliance on elections.

The organization’s annual global report cited operations by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in U.S. cities that included hundreds of violent and offensive attacks.

Boulobion warned that the collapse of human rights and democracy in the United States sends the wrong message to the world. He emphasized that Europe is witnessing similar efforts to “discredit immigrants and minorities”.

This organization asked the countries of the world to confront the great powers, including the United States.

The organization has recently seen internal resignations, the most significant of which was the resignation of Omar Shakir, the former director of the Israel-Palestine Office, after the decision to postpone a report on the denial of the right of return to Palestinian refugees.
