Democracy and human rights go hand in hand, and DRL is at the forefront of implementing President Biden's commitment to human rights.
I would argue the DRL's work has never been more important than it is right now, with democracy going head to head with the growing threats of kleptocracy and authoritarianism around the globe.
President Biden has stressed repeatedly that human rights must be at the center of our foreign policy, and I could not agree more.
