Exercise 35

Promoting respect for universal human rights is a central dimension of many countries' foreign policy. As history has shown, human rights abuses are an important concern worldwide. Some countries are more ready to work with other governments and civil society organizations to prevent abuses of power. Begun in 1977, the annual Country Reports on Human Rights Practices are designed to assess the state of democracy and human rights around the world, call attention to violations, and - where needed - prompt needed changes in U.S. policies toward particular countries. Find the annual Country Reports on Human Right Practices and provide information on how the reports are prepared.
