International Human Rights in the 1980's Robert F. Drinan, S.J.

America has reached a critical crossroads in its policy of emphasizing and enforcing internationally recognized human rights. It is uncertain what the future will be of the bold experiment initiated by the Congress and the Carter Administration to place an unprecedented emphasis on human rights in the foreign policy of the United States. Will that policy fade away? Will it be compromised?

Or will it somehow become a more mature aspect of the United States' foreign policy?
