U.S. rights groups charge double standard in policy
AHR groups accuse the Reagan administration of a geopolitical double standard for condemning abuses in the Soviet bloc while tolerating repression in allied countries. The 294 page report cites Cuba, Nicaragua, Turkey, Indonesia, Kenya, South Africa and Haiti, and criticizes U.S. inaction in the Philippines. It praises limited criticism of Israel over West Bank events. U.S. officials defend efforts to promote human rights and elections, while warning against overestimating American ability to reform foreign societies.
