HUMAN RIGHTS
CIPRE urgently advocates that "reestablishing lawful control of our borders is a first step toward protecting the American homeland and strengthening American sovereignty.” CIPRE President Dr. Shea Bradley-Farrell is a member of the Border Security Coalition of the Texas Public Policy Foundation and regularly visits the U.S.-Mexico border in order to conduct research and obtain the latest factual data impacting American communities.
While protecting America’s borders and interests first, CIPRE agrees that “prosperous, and friendly states enhance American security and boost U.S. economic opportunities,“ and advocates for the meaningful participation of women around the world in the economic and security sectors. In 2017, the U.S. National Security Strategy (NSS) recognized the importance of women’s full and equal participation -- in all areas of public of life -- as a critical element to societal stability.
This action elevated women’s status and participation beyond typical treatment as a “women’s rights” or humanitarian issue, to being an integral part of U.S. national security strategy. The NSS of 2017 stressed the importance of the freedom, individual rights, protection, and equal treatment of women and girls around the world as critical to global prosperity and stability, which in turn protects U.S. interest." (US NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY 2017)
FOREIGN POLICY
CIPRE advances the priority that America take the preeminent leadership position on the world stage to promote liberty, prosperity, God-given human rights and peaceful relations for all nations. As President Ronald Reagan wisely reminded us, "If we lose freedom here, there's no place to escape to. This is the last stand on earth."
CULTURAL FOUNDATIONS
American values, and our principles of treating people with human dignity, keeps us separate from totalitarian regimes and is an example to the world. “One of the most important ways in which the United States promotes human rights abroad is by serving as an example of a rights-respecting society where citizens live together under law amid the nation’s great religious, ethnic, and cultural heterogeneity.” (US Commission on Unalienable Rights, 2021)
Understanding and remembering this distinction is an important part of being an American. Americans must stand guard against anyone advocating lawless, divisive, messages rooted in authoritarian or Marxist ideals. The future of the U.S. and the promotion of freedom, prosperity, and equality for all depends upon it.
