Abstract: | During his first year in office, President Barack Obama has outlined a human rights doctrine. The essence of Obama’s position
is that the foreign policy of the USA is dedicated to the promotion of the most basic human right—the right to life—above
and beyond all others and that the USA will systematically refrain from actively promoting other rights, even if this merely
entails sanctions or raising a moral voice. This article details and examines Obama’s position and assesses its normative
standing. |
