WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — The US commitment to human rights is in question because of the disturbing and poisonous rhetoric of President-elect Donald Trump, the human rights group Amnesty International said in a statement on Wednesday.

"In the lead up to this week’s election, the United States has witnessed disturbing and, at times, poisonous rhetoric from President-elect Trump and others," Amnesty International Secretary General Salil Shetty said in the statement.

Shetty added that the "xenophobic" and "hateful" remarks by Trump during the presidential campaign have no place in government and must not become US policy.
