In the past few days, U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo has continued to promote the importance of faith and human rights. In his speech at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Pompeo called for reshaping the concept of human rights based on traditional values. Let the Universal Declaration of Human Rights come into play again.

US Secretary of State Pompeo: "Today we must defend natural human rights, because international human rights projects are in crisis. The totalitarian government of the Communist Party of China, the regimes of Iran and Venezuela deprive people of their basic rights; at the same time, many multinational organizations have lost their direction. Focusing on party preferences and doing nothing to defend basic human rights."

On September 23, Pompeo called on all countries to regain the common standards of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights signed 72 years ago in a video speech at the UN General Assembly, and to safeguard the basic rights of mankind.

Over the past few days, Pompeo has continuously expressed beliefs and human rights issues on different occasions. He pointed out that people should not shy away from talking about their beliefs and face up to the influence of beliefs on the individual’s social and public roles. At the same time, he repeatedly pointed out the CCP’s enemy of faith and the threat to the United States and the world.

Pompeo also publicly urged the Vatican not to renew the bishop appointment agreement reached two years ago with the CCP, believing that the agreement will “intensify” the CCP’s persecution of believers and undermine the Vatican’s moral authority.

In his speech at the UN General Assembly on Wednesday, Pompeo advocated that countries return to traditional values ​​and defend human rights with courage and faith.

US Secretary of State Pompeo: "We hope that the recent report issued by the Commission ("Commission on Inalienable Rights") will inspire other countries and people. They should also return to their traditions and regain their moral, philosophical and religious heritage and heritage. It is passed down to consolidate the inherent rights of all people, which is also the core of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. This work is vital. We must rediscover the essence of human rights, and we must have the courage to defend human rights."

The “Inalienable Rights Committee” is an advisory body established by the State Department in 2019. The report of the committee pointed out that the United States should vigorously defend human rights in its foreign policy to make it more closely aligned with the United States’ philosophy of nation-building and insist that religious freedom is The most basic value of America.

Current affairs commentator Yokogawa: "After rethinking the domestic and international policies of the United States, especially the CCP’s appeasement policy, this US government has begun to uphold the values ​​of human rights and freedom of belief in the United States, and regard these values ​​as The promotion of American foreign policy to the world has two results. Within the United States, this will fundamentally reverse the proliferation of communism, socialism, and progressivism in the United States after religious beliefs were excluded from the public sphere in the past few decades. Restore the foundation of the United States. Internationally, it can make the United States once again a world leader based on values."
