Providing grants to individuals who have suffered political retaliation would demonstrate the United States' commitment to human rights and would increase its "soft power" by improving its reputation and influence in the international community.

However, it would not necessarily increase the United States' "hard power," as this term refers to military and economic capabilities rather than reputation and influence. It also would not necessarily lead to "détente" (a reduction in tensions between countries) or "appeasement" (making concessions to avoid conflict).
