Under the Obama administration, US policy has contributed to watering down the protection of fundamental civil and political rights by embracing a broadened definition of human rights, writes Aaron Rhodes in the American Thinker.
America has been exceptional in the international community for prioritizing civil and political human rights over social and economic rights. But over the past four years, America’s human rights engagement has changed as the country’s policies and actions have moved into the mainstream of the international community, where all human rights are seen as equal. Under the Obama administration, US policy has thus contributed to watering down the protection of fundamental civil and political rights by embracing a broadened definition of human rights, writes Aaron Rhodes in the American Thinker.
