US Human Rights Advocates: Need a Boost?
On November 16, an optimistic Michael Posner delivered the 2018 Horatio Ellsworth Kellar lecture at the University of Minnesota School of Law, celebrating the 30th anniversary of the law school's Human Rights Center. We've accomplished a lot, he said, but "we must push back" against current efforts to marginalize human rights. The current "America First" policies are "both misguided and wrong," he observed, and are counterproductive to American interests. "We're fighting for the soul of American foreign and domestic policy," he concluded. "It's a marathon, not a sprint."
