Many of the sections and rights abuses that the report omits are extremely important to understanding the trends and developments of human rights globally, Human Rights Watch said. The report is dishonest about abuses in some third countries to which the US is deporting people, stating that the US found “no credible reports of significant human rights abuses” in El Salvador, although they cite “reports” of extrajudicial executions, enforced disappearance, and mistreatment by police. The initial aim was to ensure that the US government did not aid governments that engage in “a consistent pattern of gross violations of internationally recognized human rights.” Starting in the late 1970s, the State Department began documenting a broader range of violations —such as torture, political repression, and restrictions on press freedom —in nearly every country in the world, except the United States.
