The criticism is mostly the result of a fascist administration that does not respect international law or human rights:
Human rights group Amnesty International has told leading nations to get their own house in order if they want to restore moral authority in the world.
Amnesty secretary general Irene Khan told Sky News that there was a "burning imperative for action" after the will to apply human rights had "evaporated" among leaders.
Releasing a report 60 years after the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the group singled out the US, China, Burma and Israel over abuses - and Britain did not escape unscathed.
Speaking of the US, Ms Khan said Guantanamo Bay "sent the wrong message around the world".
"Other governments look to the US as a role model; that's why we think it's very important that the US should lead by example," she said.
She insisted that the US "close Guantanamo and either release people or try them fairly".
