WeвЂ™ve advanced human rights as never before. WeвЂ™ve built a global economy that lifted billions of people out of poverty. In the decades since, despite daunting challenges and despite the gap between our ideals and some of the results weвЂ™ve achieved, the countries of the world have avoided another world war and armed conflict between nuclear powers. They are reflections of the worldвЂ™s shared aspirations. Its founding documents include the UN Charter and the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which enshrined concepts like self-determination, sovereignty, the peaceful settlement of disputes.

To build that future, we must defend and reform the rules-based international order вЂ“ the system of laws, agreements, principles, and institutions that the world came together to build after two world wars to manage relations between states, to prevent conflict, to uphold the rights of all people. ThatвЂ™s why weвЂ™ve put diplomacy back at the center of American foreign policy, to help us realize the future that Americans and people around the world seek вЂ“ one where technology is used to lift people up, not suppress them where trade and commerce support workers, raise incomes, create opportunity where universal human rights are respected countries are secure from coercion and aggression, and people, ideas, goods, and capital move freely and where nations can both forge their own paths and work together effectively in common cause. The common denominator across these efforts is the simple fact that none of us can meet these challenges alone. In the past two years weвЂ™ve come together to fight the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future global health emergencies, rebuild from economic shocks, from supply-chain disruptions to debt crises, and take on climate change, and reimagine an energy future thatвЂ™s cleaner, more secure, and more affordable.
