Policy of Russia on Human Rights - Dictionary of Arguments
Krastev I 78 Human Rights/Policy of Russia/Krastev: Wladimir Putin: (on the Munich security Conference on February 10, 2007): Putin's rhetoric became especially truculent when he touched on the conceit that all countries outside the West were morally obliged to adopt the 'international human rights norms' of the West. The duty of all mankind to strive for liberal democracy was an offensive Western conceit. The Americans justified 'interfering in the internal affairs of other countries' by invoking the worldwide desirability and imitability of their own political and economic system. While lecturing the world about human rights, democracy and other lofty values, Western leaders were all the while pursuing their own countries' selfish geopolitical Krastev I 81 interests. Krastev: Such a shameless resort to double standards had, by this time, become one of Putin's gnawing obsessions, matched only by his resentment at the lack of 'respect' with which he believed Russia was routinely treated by the West._____________Explanation of symbols: Roman numerals indicate the source, arabic numerals indicate the page number.
