Sec. Blinken criticizes Trump administration in remarks on human rights: 'Too often in recent years, these defenders heard only silence from us...We are back for those brave advocates as well. We will not be silent.'

When human rights defenders"come under attack, they often look to the United States to speak up on their behalf. Too often in recent years, these defenders heard only silence from us," Blinken said."We are back for those brave advocates as well. We will not be silent."Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is introduced by Commission chair Mary Ann Glendon at the National Constitution Center where he spoke about the Commission on Unalienable Rights, July 16, 2020, in Philadelphia.

In particular, Blinken"decisively" repudiated Pompeo's"Unalienable Rights Commission," a panel of academics that said in a report last July that freedom of religion and right to property were the most important human rights. While Pompeo touted the report and said it would lay a foundation for future administrations, critics accused it of minimizing minority rights.

Blinken essentially jettisoned the report, saying Tuesday,"There is no hierarchy that makes some rights more important than others. Past unbalanced statements that suggest such a hierarchy, including those offered by a recently disbanded State Department advisory committee, do not represent a guiding document for this administration."

Human rights are increasingly under threat around the world, Blinken said, saying the trendlines"are in the wrong direction."

Trump or Biden, Pompey or Blinkin, the objectives are the same. toliro So hes going to do more invasions than the conservatives? Small steps forward!
