The topic of human rights, specifically, unalienable rights, is a topic near and dear to U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s heart.
He first became interested in the discussion of what constitutes a “right” and the difference between unalienable rights, positive rights, and negative rights while taking a class as a cadet at West Point. There, he “studied the intersection of human rights law and warfare and confronted essential questions about human rights and how best to protect them,” Pompeo wrote in an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal. He continued to mull these questions over in law school at Harvard, and throughout his career as an attorney and legislator, a senior State Department official told The Daily Wire.
