Serious violation of the United States the Cuban people's right to survival and development. October 26, 2010, the 65th UN General Assembly with an overwhelming majority of the 19th through the "United States of America against Cuba must end the economic, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the" resolution, including the United States only two countries that voted against . According to the 1948 "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide" Article 2, United States sanctions against Cuba should be considered as "genocide" behavior. United States refused to participate in a number of important international human rights conventions and international obligations. U.S. has not ratified the "economic, social and Cultural Rights" and "on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination." In 2006, the United Nations General Assembly adopted the "Convention on the Rights of persons with disabilities", there are already 96 countries have ratified the Convention, the United States has not ratified the Convention.

March 18, 2011, by the UN Human Rights Council Universal Periodic Review on human rights in the United States the final document, while the U.S. has steadfastly refused to consider most of the recommendations put forward by many critics. Some countries spoke at the meeting, a large number of proposals for the United States refused to regret and disappointment that the United States on human rights issues do not go far enough, urged the U.S. to face its own human rights record, to take measures to address human rights problems. The facts show that America's own poor record on human rights, are not eligible for pretending to the world of "human rights judge", but year after year, Country Reports on Human Rights published in other countries and regions of the human rights situation to judge and censure. The United States ignores its own serious human rights problems exist, but keen to implement the so-called "human rights diplomacy", the image of human rights as a smear of other countries to seek their own strategic interests and political tool, which fully exposes its double standards on human rights issues face of hypocrisy and poor excuse of human rights hegemony attempt. We advise the U.S. government to effectively improve their human rights situation, behave in their own actions on human rights issues, stop using human rights to interfere in the internal affairs of the high-handed acts.
