America, Naked in Ferguson

http://watchingamerica.com/WA/2014/09/09/america-naked-in-ferguson/

Dozens of suspicious, unjust reports with alleged results from investigations were issued by (American human rights) organizations on Bahrain, Egypt and other (countries). Now, where are these organizations when it comes to the events in Ferguson?

The events in Ferguson exposed America from all sides.

First, these events debunked American claims and discussions about human rights.

As we know, America gives a perception of itself as the primary defender of human rights in the world — and the (country) keenest on them — to the point where it gives itself the right to issue an annual report about global human rights and deliver accusations against various nations.

As all of us know, when it comes to the Arab countries in particular, America uses its institutions and its suspicious human rights organizations as a pretext for the blatant interference in the affairs of our countries. Not only this, the Americans have taken these issues as a pretext to back the sectarian and coup-supporting forces that want to spread chaos and threaten the country and society.

I'd be curious as to which particular organizations the author feels issued 'Dozens of suspicious, unjust reports with alleged results' on events elsewhere.
