What were the clinton administration's major international initiatives and interventions in the aftermath of the cold war?
Rudik [331]

The main focus of the Clinton administration after the cold war was to protect human rights. This was not as easy as expected; world leaders were challenged to balance human rights, economic interests, strategic interests, and lack of clear guidelines for humanitarian intervention overseas. These interests often conflicted and complicated response to international emergencies.

 

Consequently, Nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) became progressively more important as they had the ability operate across borders with relative ease. NGOs became more and more involved in initiatives such as health care, woman’s rights, and other human rights.

 

Governments still retained their role of supplying military intervention when required, while international communities such as the United Nations (UN) took on the role of International Court on issues pertaining to abuse of human rights.

-China's population reduced by 10 million through the 70 years of the epidemic plague.
