SUPPORTING HUMAN RIGHTS and DEMOCRACY

THE U.S. RECORD 2005 - 2006

This fourth annual submission complements the longstanding Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2005, and takes the next step, moving from highlighting abuses to publicizing the actions and programs the United States has employed to end those abuses.
