The Embassy recognizes that democracy is the only assurance of lasting peace and security between nations, because it is the only guarantee of freedom and justice within states;
The Embassy works through diplomatic liaison with national and international leaders to improve the civil, religious, and human rights conditions of peoples and nations all over the world, as defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights;
The Embassy advocates the doctrine that religious liberty is the cornerstone of human dignity and is closely linked to world peace and stability; therefore, it fosters and rewards freedom of religion among the world’s nations;
The Embassy opposes political tyranny, racial genocide, and religious persecution;
The Embassy monitors the oversight of human rights in hot spot regions and cultures around the world. It seeks to end the persecution against race or religion by supporting international policies that promote human rights for all and bring an end to ethnic cleansing, and religious oppression.
The Embassy supports those persons who long to live in freedom and under democratic governments that protect universally accepted human rights. The values captured in the Universal Declaration for Human Rights and in other global and regional commitments are consistent with the values upon which the United States was founded centuries ago.
