Every year we have extended mostfavorednation status to this particular country despite the fact that their record on human rights is one of the most deplorable of any in the world. Every major human rights organization from Amnesty International to the Helsinki Watch. and others. have recounted in great detail the violations that have occurred against religious groups and ethnic groups in that country. against synagogues. churches. in one instance after another. Of course. just around the time mostfavorednation status is about to come up. there is this flurry of activity and increase in emigration. Then. of course. we extend the MFN status to them and they return to the same kind of practices they were engaged in before. I wish this were binding legislation.
