WASHINGTON, March 27 — World leaders will gather virtually this week for the second US-organised Summit for Democracy, an event critics say illustrates the halting progress the Biden administration has made in advancing human rights and democracy as a focus of its foreign policy.
The administration has also been reluctant to make the hard choices needed to show it is putting human rights at the heart of its foreign policy, experts said. Washington has accused Russia of committing atrocities in its invasion and rallied other countries to support Ukraine. But this has sometimes come at the expense of a firm line on democracy and rights elsewhere, including in Venezuela, where a US delegation visited in March to try to convince its authoritarian government to pump more oil.
“I will defend the fact that human rights comes up in every bilateral relationship we have,” a senior Biden administration official said.
