Promoting freedom and democracy and protecting human
rights around the world are central to U.S. foreign policy.
The values captured in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and in other global and regional commitments are
consistent with the values upon which the United States was
founded centuries ago. The United States supports those
persons who long to live in freedom and under democratic
governments that protect universally accepted human
rights. The United States uses a wide range of tools to
advance a freedom agenda, including bilateral diplomacy,
multilateral engagement, foreign assistance, reporting and
public outreach, and economic sanctions. The United States
is committed to working with democratic partners,
international and regional organizations, non-governmental
organizations, and engaged citizens to support those
seeking freedom.
The Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights and Labor leads
the U.S. efforts to promote democracy, protect human
rights and international religious freedom, and advance
labor rights globally.
