merits how Congress has influenced
U.S. foreign policy in the area of
human rights by lying it to financial
assistance.
By passing legislation like the
Harkin Amendment in 1974, which
restricts U.S. assistance to any coun
try that consistently violates recog
nized international human rights,
Congress has made human rights a

“When Congress refused money to
Guatemala, it pul great pressure on
them. They no longer have a dicta
tor,” he said. “But this didn’t work in
Chile.
“Reform is slow',” Forsythe said.
“Congress just hammers away until
there is a change.”
Congress is responsible for putting
human rights back on the U.S. foreign
policy agenda, not presidential pol
icy, he said.
“The issue of human rights is here
to stay because of international law,
and Congress has a lot to do with it,”
he said.
Forsythe said he thinks Congress is
responsible for President Reagan’s
foreign policy change that deals with
human rights during his second term.
When Congress made human
rights an issue in the Philippines, they
forced Reagan to eventually inter
vene in that country, Forsythe said.
But the bureaucracy of Congress
makes it difficult for them to set for
eign policy, he said.
Unless Congress writes a specific
law, making a specific reference to a
country and setting a policy for that
country, the president can get around
almost any legislation Congress
passes, he said.
When Congress is specific, “(it)
can hold the president’s feet in the
fire,” he said.
Forsythe said the next step Con
gress needs to take is recognizing
economic rights as human rights.
“The right to have enough to eat, to
proper health care, to shelter — are
fundamental rights,” Forsythe said.
“They are more important than the
right to a lawyer. They are as impor
tant as freedom from torture.”
Forsythe is not teaching this spring
because he is researching for future
publication. He will teach interna
tional relations and U.S. foreign pol
icy next fall.

Bazaar introduces students to foreign cultures
By Julie Dauel
Staff Reporter
An international bazaar to help
bridge the gap between American
and foreign students will be in the
Nebraska Union Wednesday and
Thursday, said S.K. Boo, president
of the University of Nebraska
Lincoln’s International Student
Organization.
Ue Thao, an ISO delegate, said
the bazaar will introduce Ameri
cans to foreign cultures by sharing
foreign arts and crafts, food, and
cultural programs presented by
foreign students.
Nickettc Allen, ISO vice presi
dent, said it’s important for people
to get exposed to various cultures.
The group “would like people to
get an inner feel of different cul
tures, and this year the goal is to
have more of a social gathering for
people,” she said.
Christa Joy of International
Educational Services said the ba
zaar is bigger this year. It will in
clude entertainment and games in
addition to food and crafts.
The bazaar will feature more
than 18 countries and student asso
ciations, and free musical and ath
Ictic performances by foreign stu
dents. Students will dress in tradi
tional clothing of their country.
Tai chi, a Chinese martial-arts
demonstration; table tennis; and
Mexican folk-dancing are some of
the scheduled performances.
Students also will sell food and
handmade crafts from their native
countries. Handmade shawls, bed
spreads, handbags and rugs are a
few of the items for sale.
Allen said prices may vary de
pending on the rarity of the item.
Allen said she expects at least
1,500 people to attend.
