'No safer'
The report also criticised the world as a whole for failing to act over
crises, notably in Sudan's Darfur region.
Afghanistan was slipping into a "downward spiral of lawlessness and
instability", it added.
Published on Wednesday, the report accused governments of adhering
stubbornly to "politically convenient" but inefficient tactics to address
terrorism in 2004, despite what Amnesty saw as a lack of success.
The televised beheading of captives in Iraq, the bombing of commuter trains
in Madrid and the siege at a school in Beslan in Russia showed that "four
years after 9/11, the promise to make the world a safer place remains
hollow", secretary general Irene Khan said.
In Iraq some of the violence could be blamed on armed groups but the report
also blamed US-led coalition forces for "unlawful killings, torture and
other violations".
"Torture and ill-treatment by US-led forces were widely reported," it added.
The report also highlighted the London-based organisation's concerns about:
A lack of accountability for human rights violations in Haiti and in the
Democratic Republic of Congo
Reported abuses by Russian forces in Chechnya
New levels of brutality against civilians by armed groups in places like
Iraq
Slow progress in achieving the Millennium Development goals
Indifference to violence against women
Lack of a full independent investigation into abuses against detainees in US
custody in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay.
'Unfair trials'
In its wide-ranging review of 131 countries and five world regions, Amnesty
International said the US government's selective disregard for international
law and reported abuses of detainees was sending a "permissive signal to
abusive governments".
"The US, as the unrivalled political, military and economic hyper-power,
sets the tone for governmental behaviour worldwide," she said.
  The UN Commission of Human Rights has become a forum for horse-trading on
human rights

"When the most powerful country in the world thumbs its nose at the rule of
law and human rights, it grants a licence to others to commit abuse with
impunity."
The administration was seeking "to dilute the absolute ban on torture", Ms
Khan added.
Rejecting Amnesty's charges, Mr McClellan said the US investigated all
allegations of abuse.
"We hold people accountable when there's abuse. We take steps to prevent it
from happening again. And we do so in a very public way for the world to see
that we lead by example and that we do have values that we hold very dearly
and believe in," he told reporters in Washington.
Direi un tardivo atto di accusa. Parziale ed ipocrita based in London.
Che ospita diversi terroristi "Freedom Fighters".
Tra la prima guerra del Golfo, la disintegrazione della Yugoslania e
quest'ultima le bombe USA hanno ucciso circa mezzo milione di persone e
distrutto due stati nazione sovrani .
Farsi le seghe per Guantanamo ed Abu Graib e' ridicolo.
Ms Khan also condemned the United Nations Commission on Human Rights for
failing to stand up for those supposedly in its care.
"The UN Commission of Human Rights has become a forum for horse-trading on
human rights," she said.
"Last year the commission dropped Iraq from scrutiny, could not agree on
action on Chechnya, Nepal or Zimbabwe and was silent on Guantanamo Bay."
 
Altra banda di scimmiette.
Saluti Cad Ali'

 2004, Amnesty International says.
Dimenticavo silenzio assoluto sulla occupazione ancora perdurante di Grenada
e sulla sottomissione di fatto di Pabama.
Il silenzio paga.
Strano non abbiano fatto grandi proclami sui milioni di vittime del regime
Castrista.
Una svista o Castro batte USA al baseball e sui diritti umani?
