United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has abandoned his former human rights advocacy, a stark departure from his Senate tenure. Previously known for bipartisan efforts to protect human rights, Rubio now rarely mentions these principles, instead adopting the slogan, 'We are not here to play social worker.
We are here to win.' This shift contrasts sharply with the human rights community's initial optimism for his nomination, given his prior understanding of U.S. human rights structures. His current approach, dismissing rights as a 'woke agenda,' signals a fundamental reorientation of U.S. foreign policy. This strategic pivot prioritizes perceived 'winning' over the government's obligation to protect human rights, potentially impacting global perceptions of U.S. values and its role in the rules-based international order.
