69.13: Human Rights
Protecting Human Rights Other Information:
To those who stand in the darkness of tyranny, America has always been a beacon of hope, and so it must remain. That is why
we strongly support the work of the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom, established by Congressional Republicans
to advance the rights of persecuted peoples everywhere. It has been shunted aside by the current Administration at a time
when its voice more than ever needs to be heard. Religious minorities across the Middle East are being driven from their ancient
homelands, fanaticism leaves its bloody mark on both West and East Africa, and even among America’s Western friends and allies,
pastors and families are penalized for their religious convictions. A Republican Administration will return the advocacy of
religious liberty to a central place in our diplomacy.
