  • (POMED) Mourns the Loss of Ambassador Mark Palmer, Who Passed Away This Week Following a Long Fight Against Cancer
    www.pomed.org · 1611 Connecticut Ave. NW, Suite 300 · Washington, DC 20009 The Project on Middle East Democracy (POMED) mourns the loss of Ambassador Mark Palmer, who passed away this week following a long fight against cancer. Ambassador Palmer was one of POMED’s most important supporters, a member of our Board of Advisers since 2007, and one of the world’s leading champions of democracy and human rights. No one has better exemplified POMED’s founding principles and our mission of supporting democracy through research, advocacy, and dialogue. For more than 25 years, Ambassador Palmer was a leading pro-democracy voice within the U.S. government, where he helped establish the National Endowment for Democracy and served as Ambassador to Hungary from 1986 to 1990, supporting Hungary’s transition from dictatorship to its first free, multiparty elections in 1990. After leaving government, he played a key role in numerous pro-democracy nongovernmental organizations. In addition to serving on POMED’s Board of Advisers, he also served on the Board of Freedom House and was a co-founder of the Council for a Community of Democracies. He also supported democracy by investing directly in independent media in Central and Eastern Europe, East Asia, and the Middle East. Ambassador Palmer also authored the book Breaking the Real Axis of Evil: How to Oust the World’s Last Dictators by 2025. Its policy recommendations formed the basis for the ADVANCE Democracy Act, a key piece of legislation passed by Congress in July 2007 requiring numerous steps to elevate the promotion of democracy and human rights as a goal of U.S.

  • Testimony by Ambassador Mark Palmer Congressional-Executive Commission on China March 24, 2010
    Testimony by Ambassador Mark Palmer Congressional-Executive Commission on China March 24, 2010 As the father of modern China, Sun Yat-sen once noted: “Worldwide trends are enormous and powerful; those who follow them prosper, and those who resist them perish.” The Internet is the most powerful force for progress in our lifetimes. The fact that more than four hundred million Chinese already are online testifies to its enormous importance for China. At a time when Freedom House, the State Department and others have documented increasing censorship of the Internet, and an overall decline of human rights in China and across the globe, it is easy to become pessimistic about the Internet’s prospects. But I believe we need to look more deeply at recent history, at what the Chinese people themselves want, at what we can do to respond to their aspirations and at what the State Department for three years has refused to do. The single most strategic failure of our best minds in the intelligence, journalist and academic communities over the past half century has been their failure to anticipate, indeed even allow for, peaceful democratic revolution. And yet some sixty such revolutions have occurred in countries as divergent as Indonesia, the Philippines, South Africa, Chile, and Ukraine. We have neither understood what is going on in the minds of elites beneath the closed surface of dictatorships nor the power of students, women and others once they organize. We now know from his secretly tape-recorded, recently published memoir, that Zhao Ziyang, the General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, ultimately concluded that for China’s economic success to continue it must be accompanied by a modern political system with a free press, multiple party elections and an independent judiciary.
