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.

One consequence of the Reagan administration’s support of an oppressive right-wing government in El Salvador was the

Vikentia [17]

One consequence of the Reagan's administration aid to right-wing El Salvador government was <u>the influx of Salvadoran asylum seekers into the United States</u>. This sparked a large politicized debate over immigration in the U.S. that ultimately helped to shape the legal and political American debate about it.

The Reagan administration's (1981-1989) large military aid to right-wing coup and government in El Salvador served also as legitimization and sustenance of the regime. The El Salvador civil war lasted almost 13 years (1979-1992).

American support of the right-wing government happened through financial aid and military training by American officers. This was a conflict typical of the Cold War so it was driven by red scare. Americans' support of the regime attempted to forestall any type of social revolution based on leftist ideologies, represented by the Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front which was fighting against the military coup that started in 1979.

This led to Americans training and supporting a military that tortured thousands of people. One of the Salvadorean strategies against the rebels was to target civilians so they wouldn't support the Liberation Front.

The legitimization happened as the U.S. supported internationally the Salvadorean regime and as American officers took high-level positions in the government.
