Mr. Aird. Concern for human rights is widely shared among the American people, including Members of the Congress, Presidents, and government officials. The United States has played a major role in promoting the idea of universal human rights not only through the United Nations but in its own relations with other countries. But our policies and actions have not always matched our words. Human rights considerations sometimes come in conflict with the objectives of various domestic interest groups who try with some success to get the government to strike compromises that serve their own agenda.
