US Department of State has commented on the report published by the Russian Foreign Ministry, which reviews the facts of human rights violations in various countries, including the United States.
"These kinds of human rights reports can be a useful mechanism. But we certainly don't regard it as interference in our internal affairs when foreign governments, individuals, or organizations comment on or criticize U.S. human rights practices," Toner said in response to the statement, in which Russia accused the US of using disproportionate force in counter-terrorist operations and disapproved for mistreat and violence of prisoners in Guantanamo prison.
"We think these human rights reports can have - can be a useful mechanism, provided that they're produced using an objective methodology...We think what the more important point to make here is that in terms of human rights, we're an open book. We don't put any restrictions on access to our human rights records, and, indeed, we have an extremely unfettered press and media that hold us to that," Toner announced.
