Albright Comments on Policy
***************************
Thursday, January 9, 1997 6:50 am EST
Secretary of State-nominee Madeleine Albright's comments at
her confirmation hearing on foreign policy issues.
--UNITED NATIONS: On the U.N. ... I think the important thing
to keep in mind is we created the U.N., and the U.N. is
important and good for the United States. It does need
reforming. That has been very much a part of my mission
in New York. And I think we've accomplished quite a lot,
but there's a lot more to be done.
--HUMAN RIGHTS: If I am confirmed, I can assure you that
the United States will not hesitate to address frankly
the violation of internationally-recognized human rights,
whether those violations occur in Cuba or Afghanistan, Burma,
Belgrade, or Beijing.
[Associated Press, 9 January 1997].
