Congressional interest in the laws and processes involved in
conditioning U.S. assistance to foreign security forces on human
rights grounds has grown in recent years, especially as U.S.
Administrations have increased emphasis on expanding U.S.
partnerships and building partnership capacity with foreign
military and other security forces. Congress has played an
especially prominent role in initiating, amending, supporting with
resources, and overseeing implementation of long-standing laws on
human rights provisions affecting U.S. security assistance. This
book provides background on the Leahy laws, including a brief
history of their legislative development; an overview guide to the
standards and processes used to "vet"that is, review and
clearforeign military and other security forces for gross
violations of human rights; and a brief review of salient issues
regarding the provisions of the laws and their implementation. It
also examines the extent to which State and DOD provide guidance to
their personnel to address the Leahy laws; how the State monitors
whether U.S. embassies have developed procedures to address the
requirements of the Leahy laws; how the state provides training to
personnel who conduct human rights vetting; assesses the extent to
which DOD and State safeguard U.S. military technologies sold or
exported to the Gulf countries; provide similar or differing levels
of protection for the same military technologies; and vet
recipients of U.S.-funded military training and equipment for
potential human rights violations.
