The United States, called the mother of freedoms, may be the mother of violations as well

Within the framework of Maat Foundation for Peace, Development and Human Rights’s interest in international human rights mechanisms, the Foundation prepared this report in conjunction with the United States ’submission to a review of its compliance with the provisions of the International Covenant on Political and Civil Rights (ICCPR).

The United States of America will review its human rights conditions in accordance with the International Covenant on Political and Civil Rights during the 125th session of the Commission on Human Rights, which is held from 4 to 29 March 2019.

The Maat Foundation report revealed wholesale violations of human rights in the United States, despite the United States ’claim to be the most respectful of human rights and its constant emphasis in international forums on the principles of equality and non-discrimination, but by studying its human rights files it was found that it is committing serious violations against different groups of society.

The most prominent of these violations is the violation of the right to life, racial discrimination against Muslims, in addition to discrimination against women, including early marriage and violence against them. The report also reviews US violations against immigrants and asylum seekers.

At the end of the report, the Maat Foundation presented some recommendations to the US government, asking it to stop violations and comply with the provisions of international treaties that US officials have always spoken about in international forums. Where the Maat Foundation called on the US government to stop discrimination against women, especially those with disabilities, to cancel the Travel Ban 3.0 decision and to take a fair methodology in issuing entry visas to the United States according to the circumstances of each case, regardless of religion.
