You’re shifting your goal posts. You said “social justice is an objective of US as a whole” and hence “not a political view.” That’s false.
> Even Iran ratified one treaty more than US
Which shows the difference. Ratification, in America, is not performative. Those treaties can become the basis for lawsuits against the U.S. in U.S. courts. If you’re arguing women have a better time in Iran, or civic and political rights are better protected in Russia, because they ratified those chapters, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.

If you're saying that US usually says one thing, and does another thing entirely, you're right.
When someone signs an official document in representation of their Country, they are actually saying that the Country's objective align with the things written in the document.
They signed a document that stated that social justice is not political, it's a human right.
You're now saying that's false in the US.
So either you or the US are lying.
> Which shows the difference. Ratification, in America, is not performative
like the ratification of
International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination
in 1994?
Are we there yet?
> Those treaties can become the basis for lawsuits against the U.S. in U.S. courts
Lawsuits, like the first of a long list a guy named Donald Trump had to face for his act of racism, in 1973, for refusing to rent houses to black people?
That totally blocked him from becoming President of United States and from running again at the next elections.
Because in USA nothing is performative.
Trump BTW was at least honest in treating things the rest of the World consider global as internal political arguments; when he felt that climate change wasn't important to his administration, he withdrawn from the Paris climate accord.
Seriously, you're talking like the US is the only country with the rule of law, where the ratification of an International treaty has actual legal consequences.
How come that Countries like Italy, France, Germany, even MONGOLIA, ratified all of them or more than 90% of them and US did not?
Are you saying that in Finland they have no justice system or engage in "performative treaty signing" as a cultural tribal tradition?
> If you’re arguing women have a better time in Iran, or civic and political rights are better protected in Russia, because they ratified those chapters, I’ve got a bridge to sell you.
I've simply argued that they committed to the cause and failed.
US hasn't even tried.
If, as you say, they didn't out of fear of "lawsuits against the U.S. in U.S. courts" does that mean that you think US know that they do not meet the requirements?
> you're saying that US usually says one thing, and does another thing entirely, you're right
No. I am saying you said "social justice is an objective of US as a whole" and hence "not a political view." Then you said "social justice is political only in USA." Those are opposing views you've flip flopped on.
> signed a document that stated that social justice is not political, it's a human right
No, it did not.
> like the ratification of International Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Racial Discrimination in 1994?
You're launching off solely titles. Read the text [1]. Article 5 enumerates rights. The rest is condemnations and the establishment of a commission. China, Saudi Arabia and Israel are also a signatories [2]. None of them give Article 14 jurisdiction, the U.S. included, which made it a toothless ratification.
You’re shifting your goal posts. You said “social justice is an objective of US as a whole” and hence “not a political view.” That’s false.
