The US Department of State released its annual human rights country reports for 2018 Wednesday.

In an attempt to hold other countries accountable for their human rights records, the State Department publishes annual reports on countries around the world. The goal is to guarantee basic human rights including “freedoms of religion or belief, expression, peaceful assembly, and association” while avoiding gross violations like “extrajudicial killing, torture, and extended arbitrary detention.” The US along with the UN Commission of Human Rights recognize these basic global rights as set out in the 1948 UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

A few main highlights from the country reports include Russia, China, Iran, Greece, Cuba, and the Philippines.

Russia is criticized for its extrajudicial killings and arrests including various politicians and journalists as well as oppression against the LGBT community. China has engaged in mass detention of almost 800,000 members of the Uighur Muslim minority group as well as state-sanctioned killings of political dissenters. Iran is called out for its high execution rates and continued attack against media outlets covering political demonstrations.

The report alleges corruption within the government, violence against LGBT individuals and refugees, as well as hostility against asylum seekers. Cuba’s report focused on its unlawful killings by the police, torture used on detainees and prisoners, as well as censorship throughout the country. The Philippines and President Duterte received criticism for arbitrary killings involved in the country’s drug war.

Many have criticized the reports for excluding reproductive rights in its findings for its association with abortion access, a heading that was included starting from the 2011 reports. Many countries have since responded and disputed the US report and demand that the State Department holds itself accountable to its own human rights abuse record.
