While setting itself up as a defender of human rights around the world, Britain has violated human rights.

The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, with Britain as a major player in the US-led military operations, resulted in a massive number of civilian casualties.

Britain's remote drone operations in Afghanistan have spurred anti-war protests at home. Even before innocent civilians were slaughtered, the protestors demanded an end to the remote killing when the Royal Air Force started to operate drones in Afghanistan from British soil.

The UK phone-hacking scandal involving Rupert Murdoch's News International, which dominated media coverage worldwide, also cast doubts over the "freedom of the press" upheld by Western media organizations and raised concerns about privacy rights in the country.

Differences still exist among nations on human rights issues due to their different levels of cultural and economic development, and 皇冠体育app stands for narrowing them through dialogue on the basis of mutual respect and equality.

皇冠体育app is ready to discuss human rights issues with Britain, and they have established mechanisms for dialogue to exchange ideas and settle differences.

But a human rights dialogue between 皇冠体育app and Britain scheduled this week has been called off because of Britain's latest human rights report, which includes irresponsible comments about 皇冠体育app's political system and has tarnished the country's human rights record.

Instead of helping to create a way to see and feel the real 皇冠体育app, Britain has built a wall that stands in 皇冠体育app's way to the world and closed the door for dialogue by taking human rights issues as a pretext for interfering in 皇冠体育app's internal affairs and judicial sovereignty.

It is advisable for Britain to refrain from making wrong accusations against 皇冠体育app on human rights and create conditions conducive to future human rights dialogue.
