US Human Rights Record Under Fire After Boycott Of UN Review

November 10, 2025 Charlie Jaay, The Canary. Educate! Accountability, Human Rights, United Nations, United States

On November 7, the US became only the second country in history – after ‘Israel’ in 2013 – to skip its scheduled Universal Periodic Review (UPR) at the United Nations. (ISHR) The Universal Periodic Review is designed to promote and protect human rights in every UN member country. The UPR was established in 2006, and occurs every four to five years. Its aim is to review each of the 193 UN member states’ human rights record. The most recent review session took place on Friday, at the Human Rights Council in Geneva. There was no US representative present. This has shocked the international human rights community and also sparked widespread criticism and concern. The move ends nearly two decades of unbroken US participation, and comes at a time when there has been growing concerns over America’s human rights record.

When veterans and their families gather at commemorative events on Nov. 11, many who use the benefits and services of the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) will be wondering whether they can still rely on that federal agency. Among those worried about the agency’s future — and their own — are the 100,000 former service members who comprise one-third of the workforce in the largest public health care system in the country. These veterans work at nearly 1,400 VA-run hospitals and clinics nationwide. Every day, they help the nine million men and women who have service-related medical conditions or qualify for VA coverage because of financial need or recent deployment in combat zones.

Paramount ‘Blacklisting’ Hollywood Figures Critical Of Gaza Genocide

November 9, 2025 News Desk, The Cradle. Educate! Censorship, Hollywood, Israel, Palestine, Paramount

Paramount Studios, led by new CEO David Ellison, has created an internal blacklist targeting Hollywood figures it considers “anti-Semitic,” Variety reported on 4 November. The move follows a broader campaign by the studio to distance itself from growing industry criticism of Israel’s genocide in Gaza. David Ellison, son of Oracle billionaire Larry Ellison, assumed control of the Hollywood studio in October following an $8bn merger with Skydance. Larry Ellison, a close ally of wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu and the largest individual donor to the Israeli army, has long aligned his company’s operations with US and Israeli security priorities, pledging Oracle’s cloud and cybersecurity infrastructure to support Israel after the start of its genocide in Gaza.

Honduras Under Increasing Threat As Election Nears

November 8, 2025 Committee of Families of Disappeared Detainees in Honduras, Popular Resistance. Educate! Democracy, Election, Honduras, US Interference

Just one month before the November 30 vote for a new President of Honduras, as reported by Progressive International, leaked recordings unveiled a plot to manipulate logistics on election day, create chaos, and invite the US embassy to declare someone other than Rixi Moncada as the victor. Moncada, the governing party candidate, is leading by 14 percentage points in recent polls. As the government applies the Constitution to protect the votes of the Honduran people, it finds itself obliged to take measures that are easily criticized if viewed out of context.

The US military has carried out two more lethal strikes in the Caribbean and Eastern Pacific this week, executing five civilians and bringing its total number of extrajudicial killings in the region to 69. On Thursday, November 6, US Secretary of War Pete Hegseth announced a deadly attack on a small boat in the Caribbean that resulted in three deaths. This follows his announcement on Wednesday, November 5, of another strike that killed two individuals. “Today, at the direction of President Trump, the Department of War carried out a lethal kinetic strike on a vessel operated by a Designated Terrorist Organization,” Hegseth wrote on social media. He used the same template to confess to these crimes in both reports.

Data Centers Are Fueling The Lobbying Industry

From the farmlands of Northern Virginia to the industrial parks of New Jersey, massive new data centers are popping up across the country to power America’s artificial intelligence revolution. The energy needed to power these data centers is driving national energy usage to record levels, and these costs are falling on American households as soaring electricity consumption has translated into higher home utility bills, as well as health and environmental risks. As the demand for computing power increases, the technology, utility and finance industries have poured millions into supporting the policies and resource allotment they need to expand data centers.

The Unraveling Of Workplace Protections For Delivery Drivers

November 8, 2025 Daniel Schneider, Portside. Educate! Amazon, Unions, UPS, Wages, Worker Rights

American households have become dependent on Amazon. The numbers say it all: In 2024, 83% of U.S. households received deliveries from Amazon, representing over 1 million packages delivered each day and 9 billion individual items delivered same-day or next-day every year. In remarkably short order, the company has transformed from an online bookseller into a juggernaut that has reshaped retailing. But its impact isn’t limited to how we shop. Behind that endless stream of packages are more than a million people working in Amazon fulfillment centers and delivery vehicles.

The Deficit Is Not An Economic Problem; It’s A Political Weapon

November 8, 2025 James Hardwick, Canadian Dimension. Educate! Austerity, Canada, Debt, Political Weapons

Mark Carney’s long-anticipated investment-austerity budget has finally been tabled before Parliament and it’s set to raise the deficit to $78 billion. While the details of the budget will be debated over the coming weeks, the big picture is that the prime minister delivered on his promises: expanded defence and infrastructure spending “offset” by more than $50 billion in cuts and other savings. For months Carney has been laying the groundwork for these moves, making high-profile statements about Canada’s supposed spending problem and promising to discipline government workers in order to restore fiscal sanity.

Recounting The Government’s Deceit, Murders And Denial Of Democracy

November 8, 2025 Bruce K. Gagnon, Organizing Notes. Educate! Assassinations, Book Review, Deep State, Democracy

I’ve recently finished reading the latest James Douglass exceptional historical treasure entitled Martyrs to the Unspeakable: The Assassinations of JFK, Malcolm, Martin, and RFK. Having previously read his remarkable book JFK and the Unspeakable I had a good clue what to expect from this new undertaking. I was not disappointed as I read this excellent recounting of our government’s deceit, arrogance, murderous past, wars, and denial of democracy. I am certain that any person wishing to understand our current political situation will greatly benefit from reading this monumental recounting.

The US Continues Its Attempt To Overthrow The Bolivarian Revolution

Since early September, the United States has given every indication that it could be preparing for a military assault on Venezuela. Tricontinental: Institute for Social Research partnered with ALBA Movimientos, the International Peoples’ Assembly, No Cold War, and the Simón Bolívar Institute to produce red alert no. 20, ‘The Empire’s Dogs Are Barking at Venezuela’, on the potential scenarios and implications of US intervention. In February 2006, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez travelled to Havana to receive the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation’s José Martí Prize from Fidel Castro. In his speech, he likened Washington’s threats against Venezuela to dogs barking, saying, ‘Let the dogs bark, because it is a sign that we are on the move’.

The United States Violates The Human Right To Health

November 7, 2025 Martha L. Schmidt, LL.M., J.D., Popular Resistance. Educate! Health Care, Human Rights, United Nations, United States

Health care activists in the U.S. have a huge struggle to get the corporate media to take the human right to health seriously. The corporate media reports on some injuries and deaths, but their doom and gloom scenarios typically conclude nothing can be changed in this private, insurance-controlled system, which doesn’t work for the people. Despite the difficult time we’re in, with millions lacking access to health care, it’s an opportunity for health care activists to increase efforts for a public, not for profit, universal system in the U.S. One way is to use the international human rights system organized through the United Nations to broadcast our message to the rest of the world and to shame the U.S.

Washington Confirms Boycott Of UN Human Rights Review

The US confirmed on 7 November that it will not participate in the upcoming review of its human rights performance before the UN Human Rights Council. The US mission in Geneva confirmed this week that the US's seat will remain empty during the Universal Periodic Review of its rights record, which is scheduled to take place on Friday afternoon. All 193 UN member states are required to undergo the standard review of their rights record every four to five years. Each country then receives recommendations from other member states on compliance. The US will become only the second country to boycott the UN review.

November 7, 2025 Chris Walker, Truthout. Educate! Employment, Layoffs, Recession, Worker Rights and Jobs

A new report examining worker layoffs in the United States this year finds that the numbers through October closely resemble those seen during recessions in the past. The report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a private firm that tracks workplace hirings and firings across the country, found that there were 153,074 layoffs reported last month alone, a 183 percent increase from September. October 2025 also saw the highest number of layoffs for that month in particular over the past 22 years. Around 1.1 million layoffs have been reported in the U.S. from January to the end of October, the report stated. Major companies that posted high layoff numbers included UPS, Amazon, and Target, while tech jobs also saw big hits, with firings at a rate 17 percent higher than in 2024, the result of a slowdown in demand and new technologies.
