"Moving forward, U.S. diplomats must report on "the chemical or surgical mutilation of children" via gender-transition procedures, attempts to coerce people to engage in euthanasia, and state subsidization of abortions and the estimated number of abortions performed in a nation each year, according to one State Department official who spoke with the news media about the changes on the condition of anonymity under ground rules set by the Trump administration."
"The State Department intends to collect data on other governments' affirmative action policies, spotlighting any that "provide preferential treatment" to workers based on gender or race. It called, too, for data on arrests or "official investigations or warnings" related to speech, this official said. In unveiling the dramatic shift, Trump administration officials offered an unapologetically U.S.-centric and religiously tinged view of human rights."
New guidance requires U.S. embassies and consulates to prepare annual country human rights reports reflecting a shift from traditional focuses on torture, politically motivated killings, and minority persecution to issues framed as divinely endowed rights. Diplomats must document chemical or surgical gender-transition procedures on children, coercion toward euthanasia, state subsidization of abortions, and estimated annual abortion totals. Reports must also collect data on affirmative-action programs that "provide preferential treatment" based on gender or race, and on arrests, official investigations or warnings related to speech. The first reports under these requirements will be published next year.
