Human Rights used as a weapon in the current Russian-Ukraine war?[edit]
National Security Adviser to Jimmy Carter, US President (1977-1981), Brzezinski stated that human rights could be used to put the Soviet Union ideologically on the defensive:
I felt strongly that in the U.S.-Soviet competition the appeal of America as a free society could become an important asset, and I saw in human rights an opportunity to put the Soviet Union ideologically on the defensive....by actively pursuing this' commitment we could mobilize far greater global support and focus global attention on the glaring internal weaknesses of the Soviet system.[1]
