I was not surprised by what was lately reported in the last report of Human Rights Watch about the United Arab Emirates, which included false charges and allegations. The report did not intrigue me because I am strongly aware of the history of this organization, in addition to my curiosity in studying political history and political science, and especially in relation to the new world system.
Historically, Human Rights Watch was founded in the end of the seventies as leverage during the height of the cold war between the United States and the Soviet Union. Its goal was the supervision of the commitment of Helsinki accords (1975) by the states, which were non-legal agreements but were considered quasi-political documents binding European allies in the political, military, security, economic and human rights fields. It was not primarily directed against the Soviet Union, but later on it was used to enhance tactical and psychological pressure against the first strategic opponent of the United States in that period, which is the Soviet Union .
The general framework of this organization is that it claims to defend human rights against any violation. Furthermore, it sets reports on the status of this file in the various countries of the world, which makes the latter under huge international pressure; especially in light of reports made by human rights organizations, organizations of money, international business, economic and investment bodies, and the activities of business throughout the world. This means that these reports turned into a gateway for investments, economic, political, security and strategic activities. The US is seeking to tighten its control over all countries of the world to take hold of the new world order.
After the collapse of what was then the Soviet Union and the disintegration of the former communist bloc, Europe has turned into an Atlantic ally of the United States of America. The interest of Human Rights Watch has turned to media attacks against the new strategic adversaries of the United States of America, which are specifically China and rising powers, in addition to the Middle East and Arab countries that are within the concerns of US’s strategic plans. Therefore, “Human Rights Watch” reports condemn these countries, specifically China.
This organization has been used by the United States over the past years to put pressure on countries in the region to respond to the demands of the US on several files. And it is easy to note the strong correlation between these reports and the nature of US relations to these countries. It could be said that these reports are one of the US approaches toward any country of the world.
One may say that the Human Rights Watch organization monitors the human rights situation in the United States itself and refers to violations that occur there. This is true, and it is a part of the false credibility that the organization is trying to show. But, one who is familiar with the real situation of human rights in the US, whether through witness or through similar reports issued by other countries, can easily realize that the Human Rights Watch reports on the rights of the American man is only an illusion. It is just a media cover to achieve the real objectives of the organization, and an attempt to gain credibility in the world.
Human Rights Watch is then a tool of globalization to spread the American globalized model, in order to maintain the American control over the New World System. Furthermore, it is a mean to consecrate hegemony of the US unilateral model. Hence, the organization does not investigate facts, rather it is primarily a tactical tool for propaganda which is interested in achieving political goals for its historical financer and custodian.
Based on the foregoing, we should not worry about many reports of this suspicious organization, as its history indicates it. In addition, reports of this organization should not be given more attention than they deserve. CSO’s are merely covers for the real objective and political purposes which are unrelated to the interests of the people. If someone denies this fact, then he has to provide a section of these reports that tackles violations committed against human rights in several countries that have no strategic importance in the world.
