Chapter II. Champion Aspirations for Human Dignity
Section A. Summary of National Security Strategy 2002
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The United States must defend liberty and justice because these principles are right and
true for all people everywhere. These nonnegotiable demands of human dignity are
protected most securely in democracies. The United States Government will work to
advance human dignity in word and deed, speaking out for freedom and against
violations of human rights and allocating appropriate resources to advance these ideals.
