As I explain in my book, Righting Wrongs: Three Decades on the Front Lines Battling Abusive Governments, it is possible to defend rights without Trump if other governments band together. Collectively, they have the needed moral and political clout. Le Monde interview: www.lemonde.fr/internationa...
