I would like to compliment my colleague DON BONKER. the chairman of the Subcommittee on Human Rights and International Organizations. for his initiative in organizing this special order commemorating the 34th anniversary of the adoption of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights by the United Nations. In the past 8 years. Congress has passed numerous human rights statutes which have largely shaped our countrys human rights policies. This bipartisan effort has had a large impactsometimes wellpublicized. oftentimes notin saving lives. in allowing many thousands of people the right to emigrate and in reducing torture and prolonged detention without trial. But there is widespread concern that the present administration intends to disregard our human rights laws and downgrade human rights in U.S. diplomacy. The American Ambassador to the United Nations.
