Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: United States human rights policy ? the intersection of foreign policy, foreign aid and human rights --is the result of the complex interaction between the major actors in the foreign policy decision-making process. In this paper I examine the origin and evolution of US human rights policy, particularly its intimate connection to foreign aid. United States? human rights policy represents one of the greatest paradoxes in the analysis of foreign policy. The Nixon administration had nothing but utter contempt for the concept of human rights, but during Nixon?s tenure in office human rights issues made great advances. Congress passed human rights legislation in an attempt to regain its constitutionally authorized powers in the realm of foreign policy and to restrain the expanded power, and many would say immoral policies, of the Nixon presidency. Thus, formation of United States? human rights policy was the unintended consequence of the conflict between the Congress and the Executive branch. On the other hand, although Carter was the champion of human rights, due to the internal strife within the White House and State Department, the United States? human rights policy became the unintended victim of the disunity and power politics of the Executive Branch and the bureaucratic infighting within the Department of State.
