DISINFO: The USA allows Poland and the Baltic states to violate Human Rights as much as they want

SUMMARY

For Washington, human rights have long become only an instrument of criticism of the countries it recognises as hostile. The [American] “allies” are allowed to violate these rights as much as they want, without any restraints – they even receive the White House support in this process. This situation applies to Saudi Arabia, Poland, Latin American regimes and the Baltic states. It is necessary to keep in mind this fact when the Americans start instructing others about democracy and freedom of speech next time.

RESPONSE

Several recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narratives: - that US is masterminding Europe where individual states are merely pawns in the US' sinister game to dominate the world, secondly -about the intense violation of Human Rights in the West. This narrative promotes the idea that Western countries use the issue of Human Rights for their political goals (criticising Russia and China).

The claim that the USA “allows” Poland and the Baltic states to violate Human Rights “as much as they want” is ungrounded. The comparison of Poland and the Baltic states to Saudi Arabia and Latin America in terms of Human Rights is a clear manipulation.

Poland and the Baltic states are Democratic countries, which respect Human Rights and do not discriminate or oppress any persons because of their citizenship and political opinions. Read more about the situation with Human Rights in Poland, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia.
