President Donald Trump’s chief diplomat Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s absence on Friday at the release of America’s annual report of human rights covering 190 nations around the world is interpreted here as a blatant disregard for human rights abuses in many countries and the administration’s displayed disinterest to globally monitor abuses, once a top priority of any U.S. administration.
Tillerson declined to unveil the report in person, breaking with precedent established during both Democratic and Republican administrations. A senior US official answered reporters’ questions by phone on condition of anonymity rather than appearing on camera, also a break with precedent.
The state department’s annual human rights report for the year 2016 was drafted, scrutinized and perfected for release during the previous Obama administration and its state department officials around the globe in American diplomatic missions.
The Trump administration considering the release of the report as a ‘non-event’ clearly depicts that it has given law priority to monitoring human rights practices around the world.

The report had been highly criticized in some of the targeted countries due to providing information but no source given. This is going to different. The NGOs have been criticized and kicked out of many countries as they departed from taking on actual human rights abuses and moving with a clear agenda.
