What's happened at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq is one of the grossest violations of human rights under the Geneva Conventions that we have record of. It is simply monstrous.

Iran has a dismal record on human rights.

Human rights and the rule of law are central components of our relationship with Iraq and are key areas for US involvement and support. These are allegations of abuses by Iraqis against Iraqi in Iraqi facilities ... we want to see them make progress and see them reach the standards that we hold other countries to. We're counting on the Iraqis to conduct a thorough investigation.

Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.

There could be evidence of human rights violations, but we might never find out if the files decay or are destroyed.

Human rights are women's rights, and women's rights are human rights.
