Human Rights First

Abstract

Human Rights First issued a new blueprint for U.S. government policy in Egypt detailing steps the United States should take to help arrest Egypt’s dangerous drift towards instability and move the country towards constitutional legitimacy, the rule of law, and legal guarantees for the rights of all Egyptians. The blueprint comes as U.S. policy towards Egypt appears alarmingly unclear, amidst ever-deepening political polarization and violence in Egypt.
