RT Article T1 Obama’s implicit human rights doctrine JF Human rights review VO 12 IS 1 SP 93 OP 107 A1 Etzioni, Amitai 1929-2023 LA English YR 2011 UL https://krimdok.uni-tuebingen.de/Record/668638192 AB 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.
