Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has announced a new commission that he said will decide which human rights are more important to U.S. foreign policy. And hes stacked it with anti-LGBTQ activists.
The new Commission on Unalienable Rights will answer questions like What does it mean to say or claim that something is, in fact, a human right? and How do we know or how do we determine whether that claim that this or that is a human right, is it true, and therefore, ought it to be honored?
Pompeo said that the commission would conduct one of the most profound reexaminations of the unalienable rights in the world since the 1948 Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The group will focus, he said, on natural law.
Natural law is a philosophical thought that says that certain rights are inherent to being human, usually endowed by God, insisting that universal moral truths can be arrived at by examining religious texts or an imagined state of nature. Natural law as a concept is often used by the right to argue against womens and LGBTQ peoples rights.
