- Chairman Ros-Lehtinen speaks on latest developments in Egypt + Syria, invites members of the public to submit questions to #SecClinton.
- “From Assad’s forces killing thousands of civilians in Syria, to the beatings and unlawful detentions of activists in Russia, to civil society organizations such as the Ladies in White in Cuba being beaten and imprisoned, rogue regimes cont...inue to oppress innocent citizens across the world. Ironically, some of the worst offenders of human rights, such as Cuba, Venezuela, China, and Russia, have had the audacity to sit as members on the United Nations Human Rights Council. Responsible nations must not allow this body to continue to be used as a vehicle by these entities to further tighten their grasp over their citizens.See More

- The Senate finally passes the #MagnitskyAct. The President must quickly sign + implement this important Russian human rights legislation.
- Once again, Abu Mazen is showing his true colors. He could have spent the last four years negotiating and implementing a true and lasting peace with Israel. Instead, he continues to engage in incendiary statements to undermine the peace process, such as his statement yesterday about Jerusalem. His continued defaulting on his commitments and cozying up to Hamas is no way to further peace.
- Instead of condemning Gaza rocket fire against #Israel, Abu Mazen decided 2 congratulate Hamas; disgusting.

- “According to IKEA, only a few samples were manufactured in Cuba, which did not meet their quality control specifications, resulting in the business venture to end without a contract with the Cuban regime. This is yet another example of how...the brutal Castro regime seeks to profit off the backs of the Cuban people through forced labor and oppressive policies. We take accusations such as these very seriously, in order to ensure that the Cuban people are not further disenfranchised and abused by entities looking to make a quick buck.”See More
- As news reports confirm linkages between al Qaeda affiliates and the extremist attack of Sept. 11, 2012, on the U.S. Consulate in Benghazi, the Obama administration continues to dodge the truth. The tragic deaths of four brave Americans sho...uld not derail the work of diplomacy, and we must resist the instinct to retreat. The administration, however, owes a duty of care to our brave men and women who serve overseas. Sadly, the administration has been derelict in this respect. What happened in Benghazi should not have come as a surprise. Numerous militias and other armed groups have remained active since the ouster of Moammar Gadhafi, and for years, radical Islamist and extremist organizations, some linked to al Qaeda, have aggressively expanded their operations in Africa.See More
