"The US-led human rights violations abroad are in particular appalling the whole world. Wherever the US sets its bloody foot in, there follow endless streams of blood of humankind. Counted among them are the establishment of scores of overseas secret prisons, their brutal torture atrocities and massive civilian casualties and 65.3 million refugees resulting from the aggression against sovereign states committed by the US under the pretext of 'war on terrorism,'" it said.
"In the member states of the EU such unprecedented, uncontrollable state-sponsored human rights violations as Islamophobia, xenophobia and minority abuse, revival of neo-Nazism, and the massive deportation, forced repatriation and forfeiture of property of tens of thousands of refugees" are getting momentum, it added.
