| Welcome! Calender of Events World Poverty, World Trade Conference Program. September 18th-19th. Click here to view. World Poverty, World Trade Conference Poster Mission The Institute endeavors to underscore the convergence between the American national purpose and respect for individual rights. Its projects will develop local applications of universal principles, and will promote global awareness of human rights issues. The language of human rights has significant moral content, and is not mere rhetoric. The Institute traces American patriotism back to universal human rights norms. The United States is coming to the realization that “nation-building”, whether domestically or internationally, will be on its agenda for decades to come. The only reasonable standard for such activity is human-rights related. The basic right, freedom of speech, invites inquiry into the possible support of legal access rights, of political rights, of public service and public works rights, and of welfare rights
