But are we really a leader in the human rights movement? Let us take a look at our record. A 1974 report by the House Subcommittee on International Organizations and Movements bluntly stated that "the U.S. record on ratification of human rights treaties is not good." And that statement is as true today as it was 5 years ago. There are currently 28 human rights conventions which the United States has not ratified. A sampling of the titlesinternational covenants on civil and political rights. genocide. war crimes. refugees. and racial discriminationshows their importance and our neglect. Mr. President. this is not the record of a human rights leader.
