The country’s largest human rights group has charged the Bush administration is eroding human rights around the world by ignoring international law and by mistreating prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay. In its annual report, Human Rights Watch says that when a country as dominant as the United States openly defies the law, it invites others to do the same. At the same it weakens the world’s ability to protect human rights. The group’s executive director Kenneth Roth spoke to reporters Thursday. Kenneth Roth and Human Rights Watch also called on the Bush administration to set up an independent commission to investigate the torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.
