They are the true world leaders in the fight for human rights. Unfortunately. today. 11 years later. some of the signatories continue to disregard their human rights commitments. Many of the Easternbloc countries restrict religious freedom. deny their citizens the right to emigrate. and imprison human rights activists. By sponsoring a resolution to call attention to the 11th anniversary of the Helsinki accords. we hope to remind all signatories of the Helsinki Final Act that the United States continues to support full implementation of the accords. As we look forward to the Vienna Review Conference that begins in November. it is essential that our Government use this meeting as an opportunity not only to reassert the U.S. commitment to the accords. but to make clear to the entire world the continuing violations of Basket III. the human rights provisions. by the Soviets and other Easternbloc countries.
