Beyond that, we have entered an era of unprecedented technological change—the Fourth Industrial Revolution—that will influence all other challenges and touch all aspects of human existence, societal development, and international affairs. The United States and allies around the world have seldom operated in such a dynamic time of political, economic, and societal change and uncertainty. At the Atlantic Council, we view these defining challenges not as reason for despair. We view them as a call to action. We believe these issues will define the future of the international system and have developed strategies that harness the breadth and depth of Atlantic Council expertise—through our work with partners across the globe—to build achievable 2 ATLANTIC COUNCIL 231180_text.indd 2 4/23/19 2:59 PM INTRODUCTION solutions to address them. The statesman Dean Acheson, among the Atlantic Council’s founders, wrote the famous book about the post-war period, “Present at the Creation.” Unless we can muster the creativity and political will to be there “at the reinvention,” we risk becoming witnesses to the erosion of this order. Never in recent memory has our work or our mission been as important or as urgent. The Atlantic Council is seizing this as a rallying moment for our community, recognizing that we live at a historic inflection point as defining as the end of World War I or II, when the decisions taken by that era’s leaders had generational consequences.

  • Testimony :: Ambassador Daniel Fried
    Testimony :: Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State - Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe Ambassador Daniel Fried Principal Deputy Special Advisor to the Secretary of State For the New Independent States "Elections, Democratization and Human Rights in Azerbaijan" Mr. Chairman, it is an honor to be here today representing the Administration at this hearing. I appreciate the opportunity to discuss recent developments in Azerbaijan and U.S. foreign policy goals in that country. The United States seeks development of modern democratic political and economic institutions in Azerbaijan and the strengthening of Azerbaijan's sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity. With its vast hydrocarbon resources and its geo-strategic position on east-west trade routes, Azerbaijan stands a strong chance of becoming a vital hub for the transport of Caspian Basin energy resources to world markets. To promote our interests in Azerbaijan, we have established the following priority policy goals: § Promoting regional stability and cooperation. Long-term stability in the Caucasus will require a peaceful resolution of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. As a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, we, along with our French and Russian counterparts, are working with the parties to bring about a mutually agreeable, just and durable settlement. § Broadening our cooperation with Azerbaijan to counter global threats, including terrorism, drug trafficking and proliferation of weapons of mass destruction, and associated delivery systems, materials, technologies and expertise. § Supporting development of Azerbaijan's energy resources. We have sought to augment global energy supplies and support U.S. commercial interests by developing Azerbaijan's energy resources in an environmentally sound manner.

As we will show, these two seemingly unrelated upheavals are very closely tied together, and are but the latest and most profound manifesta- tions of a global revolutionary transfor- mation that has been under way for many years. Both of these revolutions are being stoked and orchestrated by elitist forces that intend to unmake the United States of America and extinguish liberty as we know it everywhere. In his famous “Lectures on the French Revolution,” delivered at Cambridge University between 1895 and 1899, the distinguished British historian and states- man John Emerich Dalberg, more com- monly known as Lord Acton, noted: “The appalling thing in the French Revolution is not the tumult, but the design.

  • Norwegian Nobel Committee, the Norwegian Nobel Institute NO-0255 Oslo, Norway
    Norwegian Nobel Committee, The Norwegian Nobel Institute NO-0255 Oslo, Norway 12 Sept 2018 Dear Members of the Norwegian Nobel Committee, 9 December 2018 will mark the 20th anniversary of the UN’s Declaration on Human Rights Defenders (HRDs) 1. It is an ideal and opportune moment to recognise and celebrate the efforts of these extraordinary individuals who despite threats of violence and unlawful imprisonment, harassment, intimidation, torture and assassination, continue to peacefully challenge injustice and call for the implementation and strengthening of the rule of law. Since 1998, over 3000 human rights defenders have been killed for defending the fundamental values enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights adopted by the UN. In recognising the increasingly hostile environments globally, in which human rights defenders must work, the late Former Secretary-General to the United Nations, Kofi Annan, recently said: “To stand up for human rights requires courage, perseverance, vigilance and a strong foundation of knowledge and evidence. We need to be vigilant in the protection of human rights defenders, for when the defenders’ rights are violated, all our rights are injured.” 2 In the same vein and emphasising the critical role that human rights defenders play in promoting and fostering stable democracies and sustainable peace, Permanent Representative of Norway to the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe, Ambassador Steffen Kongstad said: “Threats and attacks against human rights defenders may hamper the realisation of economic, social and cultural rights, undermining social cohesion, and ultimately stability and development.” 3 Despite this recognition and respect at the highest levels of the international community, human rights defenders are killed every day.

  • The People Shaping the Trump Administration
    The People Shaping the Trump Administration Despite Running on a Pledge to ‘Drain the Swamp’ and Crack Down on Special Interests, Donald Trump Has Filled His Transition Team With Lobbyists and Others With Potential Conflicts November 16, 2016 – Donald Trump rode to the White House by raging about alleged rampant corruption in Washington and pledging to “drain the swamp.” Each of the five points in the ethics platform he issued in October focused on diminishing the influence of lobbyists.1 These included a promise to impose a five-year ban on former executive branch officials lobbying the federal government. Trump further promised to crack down on special interest-influence by expanding the definition of lobbyist to include consultants and others who trade on inside government information and expertise.2 But Trump’s nascent transition team, which will shape his administration, is swarming with lobbyists and other special interests. Many of the lobbyists are working for the transition on areas for which they currently are lobbying the federal government. Meanwhile, many of those who aren’t lobbyists appear to have potential conflicts of interest. Vice president-elect Mike Pence reportedly said on November 15 that the transition team would be purged of lobbyists, but the transition team has not made the point official.3 Even if true, that remedy would not address cases such as a defense contractor working on defense interests, or a lawyer for health care interests working on health care reform. Here are brief summaries of individuals who have been reported in the media as overseeing agencies or policies for Trump’s transition team.
