US Report on Human Rights Record. 2004-2005

From the BeSpacific blog bySabrina I. Pacifica, March 29, 2005:

"From the State Department today: 'The Supporting Human Rights
and Democracy: The U.S. Record 2004 - 2005 report is submitted
to the Congress by the Department of State in compliance with Section
665 of P.L. 107-228, the FY 03 Foreign Relations Authorization Act,
which requires the Department to report on actions taken by the U.S.
Government to encourage respect for human rights.

This third annual submission complements the longstanding Country
Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2004, and takes the next step,
moving from highlighting abuses to publicizing the actions and programs
the United States has employed to end those abuses.' [navigate from the
site as linked above to each section of the report, each of which is
available in PDF]."
