The United States must stop abusing human rights for geopolitical games, Russian Ambassador Anatoly Antonov said on Tuesday.

He stressed that the US uses the human rights doctrine to play geopolitical games to destroy the sovereignty of States and to justify Western political, financial, economic, and ideological dominance.  

Antonov further added, in an article for Newsweek timed to the US-co-costed Summit for Democracy scheduled for March 29-30, that in today's complex and turbulent world, it is important to protect and preserve fundamental international principles, such as sovereign equality and non-interference in the affairs of other states.

"This would be a true manifestation of democracy and would prevent a slide into chaos. Russia is ready for such work," Antonov said.

Earlier this month, Rep. Jason Crow, who was a 24-year-old platoon leader in the American invasion of Iraq said he was still haunted by the terrible atrocities the US veterans committed during the occupation of Iraq and the WMD lies that triggered it, as per AP's report marking the 20-years anniversary of the US invasion and later occupation of Iraq.

A generation of intelligence professionals, policymakers, and American espionage organizations have all been profoundly scarred by the stigmas of the Iraq War. They were essential in the US intelligence community's significant reorganization, which resulted in the CIA losing its supervisory position over other spy agencies.

The lies made regarding Iraq's biological, chemical, and nuclear weapons programs, which were frequently referenced to increase support for the war in America and abroad, permanently damaged the credibility of US intelligence.

Meanwhile, trauma persists for most Iraqis as 20% of people had had at least one murdered individual in their household as a result of the US occupation of their country, as per a survey conducted by Opinion Research Business (ORB). The same survey revealed that more than one million Iraqis were killed or displaced and thousands of Americans died or were wounded as a result of the war on Iraq.
