THE HONORABLE BROCK D. BIERMAN

ADDRESS BEFORE THE NATIONAL SOCIETY MAGNA CHARTA DAMES AND BARONS

APRIL 14, 2018

Signed over 800 years ago, the Magna Carta marked a critical early chapter in a centuries long epic challenge that continues today – the challenge of limiting and checking executive authority through the law-based provision of rights and freedoms. It is a testament to the power and influence of this document that despite the passing of 8 centuries we find ourselves here today to celebrate and study this historic charter.

They understood how independent civil and political institutions could mitigate abuses of power. Considering these elements of the 'Great Charter of Liberties,' I am struck by how we at USAID, some eight centuries later, are confronting the very same issues, as we seek to build strong, market based democracies across Europe and Eurasia.

Allow me to take this opportunity to speak more broadly about the priority that USAID and the US government place on democracy in this region and around the world;

First and foremost, we promote the spread of democracy because it is the right thing to do. As President Trump stated last July in Warsaw,

“Above all, we value the dignity of every human life, protect the rights of every person, and share the hope of every soul to live in freedom. That is who we are.”

Democracy and freedom play an important role in the US Government’s national security strategy. The resilience and stability that are associated with democracies enhance our security and potential for constructive partnerships.
