The Convention would also provide a stronger legal basis for some important activities such as stopping and boarding stateless vessels.

The time is now, for this Senate to do what others have failed to do: ratify the Law of the Sea Convention.

No country is in a position to gain more from the Law of the Sea Convention than the United States.

Joining the Convention and the 1994 Agreement that modifies its deep seabed mining provisions is a priority for the Department of State and for me personally.

Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.

We are encouraged by what we have seen the Indian Government being able to do. We want to keep the pressure on Iran.

The United States needs China's help. Needs to work on things like trade, economics, Iran, North Korea, Syria, you name it.

I would disagree slightly with my friend, Congressman Rohrabacher. I think it does have to do with what the international community has done.

I believe what we have laid out is a very careful, calibrated, step by step approach that rewards action for action.

We must continue to advance the rights and opportunities of women and girls worldwide.

This is a downpayment on America's leadership in a fast-changing world.

One of our fundamental conditions for insurgents who want to reconcile is that they must commit to abide by Afghanistan's Constitution and the rights enshrined in it, most particularly women's rights.

The United States successfully sponsored a United Nations Human Rights Council Resolution in March 2012 that calls on the Sri Lankan Government to take concrete steps toward reconciliation and to address alleged human rights violations…

Yes, indeed, that would be a furtherance of U.S. policy.

We, of course, will be watching closely and judging North Korea's new leaders by their actions.

It is our hope that the new leadership will choose to guide their nation onto the path of peace by living up to its obligations.

As part of this, President Obama and I have made support for civil society a priority in our policy toward Egypt's transition, and we do not intend to back away from that commitment.

As we move forward to support sustained democratic reform efforts in Burma, we will continue to emphasize the need for the Burmese Government to take additional concrete steps towards reconciliation with its ethnic minority groups.

The international community can play an important role to guarantee that the electoral process in Venezuela is free, fair, and transparent.
