do the people of any country have the right to decide the following?
I think a more appropriate question would be, do the Americans have the right to determine that they don't have those rights. Especially after supporting r'egimes that do impose those restrictions. Where does the American government get the right to decide if people have the right to use marijuana? Or whether homosexuals should be discriminated against by being forbidded to enter into a marriage contract because they are condemned by a religion that is officially supposed to be seperate from government decision making? I'm not necessarily saying those decisions are wrong, but I do see a certain amount of irony there. (Or abortion, or assisted suicide for that matter)
There are appalling levels of violence against women in the US
Not to mention the history with slavery, and the attempted extinction of the Aboriginal people of America.
Maybe we should be a little bit more humble and extract the log from our own eye first
