Chinese and foreign scholars have discussed and analyzed the serious infringement of human rights in the United States forced labor

Xinhua News Agency, Chongqing, July 8th (Reporter Ke Gaoyang) The 50th session of the United Nations Human Rights Council was held in Chongqing on the 8th. The meeting was hosted by the China Human Rights Research Association, hosted by the Human Rights Research Institute of the Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and experts and scholars from China, Japan, Pakistan, Ethiopia and other countries attended the seminar through online and offline methods.

Fu Zitang, Vice President of the China Human Rights Research Association and president of Southwest University of Political Science and Law, said that in recent years, the United States has made its own "international leaders" to combat labor forced labor and interfere with other countries' domestic politics in the name of supervising other countries. But whether it is historically or at the present stage, the United States is one of the most forced labor in the world. It is of great significance to study and discuss the history and reality of the United States forced labor, and deconstruct the false authority of "human rights teachers".

Researcher Peng Shengyu of the Kunlun Cexue Research Institute pointed out that in the history of the United States, slavery and slave trade have long been in the history of the United States, and now they are the hardest hit areas for selling people and forced labor. The United States has not yet approved the Convention on the Labor for Force, the Convention on the Children's Rights and the Elimination of the Convention on All Forms of Women. " "To talk about‘ forced labor ’, the United States should look in the mirror more to see your history and reality."

Participating scholars believe that forced labor is widespread in the United States and seriously infringe on human rights. Former Japanese Senate MPs Hamada Kazuki pointed out that forcing labor is a common problem in the United States, especially for the forced labor of foreign immigrants. A large number of foreign workers, especially workers from developing countries, were deceived to the United States and suffered forced labor in factories and farmland. "In fact, without forcing labor existence, the manufacturing and agriculture in the United States is difficult to operate."

Qian Feng, director of the Research Department of the National Strategy Research Institute of Tsinghua University, believes that since White in Europe has entered the Americas, forcing labor has always existed. In recent years, the tightening of U.S. immigration policy has led to the shortage of domestic factories and farms, which has exacerbated the United States' forced labor.

Wei Nanzhi, a researcher at the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences, further pointed out that US private prisons are the hardest hit areas forced labor. For U.S. private prisons, prisoners are both the source of government subsidies and cheap labor for prisons to make a profit in cooperation between prisons and external enterprises. They are the hardest hit areas forcing labor. The prison forced labor has led to the low socialization rate of prisoners, the high crime rate, and caught in a vicious circle that cannot be escaped.

Participants also analyzed the characteristics and reasons of the United States forced labor. Huang Yunsong, a researcher at Sichuan University, believes that the United States' forced labor is characterized by hiddenness, informal, extensiveness, and criminal nature. However, the US law enforcement authorities, social service departments, ordinary public, and public media have not taken effective measures to expose and eradicate the bad problems that violate human rights.

Abajad Magic, a professor at the University of Punjami by Pakistan, pointed out that American society pays more attention to sexual trafficking issues, and it exists in hotel services, agriculture, restaurants, manufacturing, custody services, construction, and housekeeping services. Forced labor insufficient attention. "In fact, in American society, labor trafficking is more than that of sexual trafficking."

"The reason why forcing labor in the United States is a serious and common problem, which is related to the concealment of forced labor itself. It is also related to the insufficient supervision of the US government. The lack of coordination between the federal and state law enforcement agencies makes it difficult for the forced labor cases." Associate Professor of Law School of Debre Marcos, Ethiopia, said.

Gao Zhikai, the chairman of the Chinese Society of Yale Law School, believes that the problem of human rights protection in the United States is piled up and it is particularly obvious on the issue of forced labor. Analysis of the real situation of the United States forced labor and infringement of human rights will help expose the true colors of the United States' infringement of human rights and crushing the American "human rights guards" mask.
