No country or region has fully implemented human rights and there are numerous incidents which one could list from Western countries about how human rights were not respected. A perfect example would be how the US supported Pakistan when Pakistani forces killed millions of Bengalis. However, at least the West makes a commitment to the principles of Human Rights and tries to enforce them, however haphazardly. The enemies of the West, especially the leadership of the Islamic World, make no pretense about valuing Human Rights and actually sign aberrations like the "Cairo Declaration of Human Rights" which renounces freedoms of religion, freedoms of speech, and freedoms to protest among others.
