So are you claiming that human rights are subjective and not universal? Or that it's acceptable for the EU to violate human rights if the USA is worse in some ways?

Belarus is a European country. How is freedom of the press doing there?

I don’t know why you think the American definition of human rights is universal?

It is. Look at the freedom of press index for example. And as the US doesn’t accept foreign courts, there is not really a legal apparatus against the state outside of the US, which many European countries do have.

Belarus is not part of the EU, nor did it sign many of the international human rights
