On the left, the Secretary delivers a statement in the Department’s Treaty Room announcing U.S. sanctions on Syria. The sanctions are in response to that government’s crackdown on its people demanding their universal human rights through peaceful demonstrations. The center image represents “freedom of the press,” as Tunisians came out to protest and test the word thereof of their president, Ben Ali. While in another image, people are celebrating the peaceful birth of a new nation, the Republic of South Sudan. The final image is of gear that stands ready for use by the Department’s evacuation team that accompanied evacuees of Tripoli, Libya on a chartered ferry to Valletta, Malta.
