Human Rights Watch criticized President Biden and other leaders of democratic nations for sending “mixed signals” on human rights in its annual World Report published on Thursday, saying they “are not meeting the challenges before them.”
Though Biden pledged to put human rights at the center of his foreign policy, HRW Executive Director Kenneth Roth wrote that weapon sales to repressive governments and public reticence on certain human rights violations place those promises in question.
