Interviews From Washington DC

Telesur's correspondent Jorge Gestoso interviews writer and activist Keane Bhatt, who explains how the conception of human rights upheld by Washington and some organizations such as Human Rights Watch is limited and narrowly conceived solely in terms of political and individual rights and excludes economic social, and group rights. In Latin America and a large part of the rest of the world the concept of human rights is broader, and includes the right to information the right to self determination. Bhatt also discusses Washington's checkered human rights record at home and abroad. teleSur
