Are there any parts of human rights which are not already part of US law?
<p>Apart from healthcare (which is subjective and not a specific right), are there any parts of US law which violate the human rights set out in the <a href="https://www.un.org/en/universal-declaration-human-rights/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights</a> or any of those rights not included in any US state laws?</p>

<h2>According to the <a href="https://www.aclu.org/sites/default/files/assets/121013-humanrightsfacts.pdf" rel="nofollow noreferrer">ACLU</a>, lots</h2>
<p>Including:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>life sentences without parole</p>
</li>
<li><p>no legal right to sue for being illegally tortured by the US</p>
</li>
<li><p>systemic socioeconomic generational inequality</p>
</li>
<li><p>corporal punishment</p>
</li>
<li><p>lack of legal protection based on gender</p>
</li>
<li><p>mass immigration detention</p>
</li>
<li><p>mass and racially discriminatory incarceration</p>
</li>
<li><p>lack of ratification (along with Somalia) of the UN declaration on the rights of the child</p>
</li>
<li><p>lack of protection of voting rights of minorities</p>
</li>
<li><p>failure to ratify the UN declaration on the rights of the disabled</p>
</li>
<li><p>the only liberal democracy to still have the death penalty</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>To be fair, many other countries have failed on some of these metrics but, as in many things, the US is No 1 among the OECD.</p>
