Not only has the Iraqi government failed to provide minimal protection for its citizens, it has actively pursued a policy of rounding up and torturing innocent men and women. Its failure to punish those who have committed acts of torture has added to the breakdown of the rule of law and to spiraling human rights violations in Iraq.
More Quotes from William Schulz:
We ask the Justice Department and the INS to abide by its own standards and by international human rights standards in the treatment of these detainees, ... To treat detainees inhumanely is to risk breeding hostility and anger against us where before there may have been none.William Schulz
The possibility of blanket immunity for those who willfully rape, loot and murder in the course of the civil war demonstrates a total disregard for human rights and would be an outrage for civilians who endured such cruelty.

This report by the U.S. government provides a thorough review of today's human rights practices around the globe, except for one glaring omission -- its own record. The United States government considers itself a moral leader on human rights issues, but its record of indefinite and arbitrary detentions, secret 'black sites' and outsourced torture in the 'war on terror' turns it from leader to human rights violator.

Untie the hands of state and federal judges and prosecutors, ... Give them options other than turning the courts into assembly lines that mass produce mandatory life-without-parole sentences for children.

The White House has dodged the truth about torture for too long. With reports of torture in the news virtually every day, it is imperative the president and all in his administration end the secrecy and end the torture. This campaign will allow thousands of Americans to demand that torture in our names is not committed again and insist that the president speak the truth in his State of the Union address about this heinous crime.

The scale of China's human rights violations is staggering. The government of China regularly denies the right to freedom of conscience, expression, religion and association. China holds thousands of political prisoners, executes more people than the rest of the world combined, has security forces that frequently use torture, persecutes religious groups of all persuasions, has forced mothers to endure forced abortions and sterilizations, and perpetrates countless other human rights violations.
