Analysis urges U.S. to rebuild rights credibility through civic pluralism
An analysis in Foreign Policy argues the United States, which for 80 years styled itself a defender of human rights, has lost credibility under President Donald Trump. It cites the dismantling of USAID, withdrawal of billions in democracy funding, and attacks on the International Criminal Court. The author says future administrations should adopt civic pluralism — respect for ethnic and religious differences — as a foreign-policy agenda, reviving the U.S.-OIC resolution adopted by the U.N. Human Rights Council in March 2011 and the Istanbul Process.
