USA: 2020 Presidential candidates on Human Rights issues


Human rights should be at the forefront of our domestic and foreign policy. We invited 2020 presidential candidates to explain how they would address some of the most pressing human rights issues of our time.

In June 2019, we gave presidential candidates the opportunity to tell us how the United States should respond to some of the most pressing human rights issues at home and around the world – ranging from the global refugee crisis to the epidemic of gun violence in our communities.

Amnesty International USA reached out to all major presidential campaigns to respond to this questionnaire. Twelve candidates answered our questions by our deadline.
