rights . . . . A combined demonstration of
strength and goodwill.

Carters emphasis on human rights brought notable
achievements, . . .

. . . but complicated the relationship of the
United States with some nations.
(The United States led over sixty nations in a
boycott of the 1980 Moscow Olympics.)

Support for human rights was the cornerstone of

Our country has been strongest and most
effective when morality and a commitment to
freedom and democracy have been most clearly
emphasized in our foreign policy.
11
Instead of promoting freedom and democratic
principles, our government seemed to believe that
in any struggle with evil, we could not compete
effectively unless we played by the same rules or
lack of rules as the evildoers . . . . When I
announced my candidacy in December 1974, I
expressed a dream That this country set a
standard within the community of nations of
courage, compassion, integrity, and dedication to
basic human rights and freedoms.
12
Carter was committed to finding an ethical
solution to the complicated problems in the
Middle East.
