===Hypocrisy===
===Hypocrisy===
Human Rights Watch has called on the [[United States]] to stop workplace discrimination on nationality and class inside the United States and other countries, but the organization does not even follow that standard, nearly hiring all of their employee's from American and English nationalities<ref>http://www.antiwar.com/rep/treanor1.html</ref>. The Committee members for HRW also include only decisions makers from the upper-class, none from the middle-income class. Nearly all of the organizations articles and reports are produced in English, HRW claims that they are not produced in more languages because of the cost of translation. They have asked for volunteers to translate reports and documents. The organization has held double standard in its dealings in the [[Middle East]]. President of the Zionist Organization of America, Morton Klein, stated, "For Human Rights Watch to call on Israel and Jews not to live in Judea and Samaria is simply racist. Why is it that Arabs can live in Israel, and Arabs can live in the West Bank, and Jews cannot live in the West Bank?” <ref>NGO Monitor, 2005,http://www.ngo-monitor.org/archives/news/HRWLetter-NYSun.htm</ref>.

===Same-sex advocates===
In a 2006, HRW fights for Congress to enact reforms to U.S. immigration law to guarantee respect for the human rights and labor rights of non-citizens. These reforms should include measures that end discrimination against lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and HIV-positive individuals. <ref>[http://www.hrw.org/english/docs/2006/05/02/usdom13290.htm U.S. Immigration Law Inhumane to Same-Sex Couples] HRW, MAY 2, 2006</ref>
In conjunction with the UN Human Rights Committee, HRW applauded the Colombia’s Constitutional Court's decision "to extend pension benefits to same-sex partners sets an example for other countries in achieving equality for all." <ref>[http://www.unhcr.org/refworld/country,,HRW,,COL,,480db5ae2,0.html Colombia: Court Extends Benefits to Same-Sex Couples] UN Refugee Agency, April 18, 2008</ref>
