Deadly Alliances: US Foreign Policy and Human Rights
January 21, 1998
Through arms deals, trade policies, diplomatic support, and military aid, the U.S. government props up many regimes, including some very repressive ones. On this program we look at how U.S. foreign policy and its coverage in the media, have affected human rights.
Featuring:
Ted Lewis, program director, Global Exchange; Isabel Galhos, East Timorese activist; Jose Ramos Horta, co-recipient of the1996 Nobel Peace Prize; Jeff Cohen, executive director, Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR).
