said the distribution of U S
foreign aid also will depend
upon recipients committing
i hemselves "to a democratic
path of development "
"Toward regimes which
persist in wholesale
violations of human rights,"
he said, "we will not hesitate

(if all human rights, the
most basic is to be free of
arbitrary violence— whether
that violence comes from
governments, from
terrorists, from criminals, or
from self-appointed messiahs

politics or religion," Carter
said
He expressed the hope the

niversary this year by

Convention, adding that
America has no acceptable

adoption 30 years ago
Carter also pledged the

refugees from Indochina and

Some diplomats, including
former Secretary of State
Henry Kissinger, have criti-
cized Carter for injecting
human rights considerations
into foreign policy
in an apparent response,
calling the issue the soul of
our foreign policy," he said
"To those who doubt our
dedication, I say Ask the
victims Ask the exiles Ask
the governments which
practice repression
Whether in Cambodia and
Chile, ir. Uganda or South
Africa, in Nicaragua or Ethi-
opia or the Soviet Union,
governments know that we
care and not a single one of
those who is actually taking
risks or suffering for human
rights has asked us to desist
From the prisons, the camps,
the enforced exiles, we
receive one message - speak
up, persevere, let the voice of
freedom be heard "
