We believe that to bring an end to U.S. colonial rule over people in U.S. territories, it is important to engage at both a domestic and international level. The denial of political rights, federal benefits parity, and unequal treatment in many federal programs are civil rights injustices that no community in the United States should have to accept. At the same time, the ongoing denial of self-determination and Indigenous rights to people in U.S. territories violates fundamental principles of international law, including international agreements like the United Nations Charter that the United States has fully adopted. Both domestic and international law are also grounded in a shared concern for what are sometimes called “fundamental” or “natural” rights, or as the U.S. Declaration of Independence explains them, the idea of “unalienable rights,” the “consent of the governed,” and of “all created equal.” Right to Democracy approaches its work with the belief that advocacy seeking to confront and dismantle the undemocratic framework governing U.S. territories is most powerful and effective when it leverages both U.S. domestic and international law.
