SALT, Human Rights and Foreign Policy.

Abstract

This memorandum considers the challenge to US policy of encouraging some changes in Soviet basic principles without undermining the Soviet leadership. The issue at hand is the relationship of SALT and human rights. The author views them as being inextricably linked, over the long term because a secure peace in the world depends upon the evolution of the Soviet Union toward a more open society. He concludes that a concern for human rights is a vital component of the long-term solution to the problem which SALT seeks to manage in the short term -- development of a positive US-Soviet cooperation in solving the many perplexities facing the international community.
