The US Ambassador to India, Eric Garcetti, speaking at the India Today Conclave on Friday said that the United States can't give up on principles and principles of religious freedom and equality are a cornerstone of democracy.
Speaking on this, S Jaishankar said, “I have principles too, and one of my principles is an obligation to people who were let down at the time of partition".
“If you are saying you are picking some faiths and not other faiths, I will give you many examples from across the world," Jaishankar said and mentioned the Jackson–Vanik amendment, Lautenberg Amendment, Spector Amendment and so on that fast-tracked citizenships for specific ethics minorities such as Jews and Christians.
the Jackson-Vanik amendment
In 1951, the United States suspended the most-favoured-nation (MFN) status to the Soviet Union and other communist nations, excluding Yugoslavia. Under international trade rules, the MFN principle ensures equal treatment of goods and services from all countries with this status, avoiding discrimination, as stated by the CRS report.
In 1974, the Jackson-Vanik Amendment barred the restoration
of specific commercial relations with any non-market economy (NME) that prohibited or severely restricted its citizens' freedom to emigrate.
Lautenberg Amendment:
In 1990, the Lautenberg Amendment was introduced, setting a lower evidentiary requirement for refugee status applications for specific groups, such as Jews and certain Christian minorities from the former Soviet Union, along with individuals from Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam.
in 2004, the Specter Amendment expanded the scope to include certain Iranian religious minorities experiencing heightened discrimination, arrests, and imprisonment. This comprised Jews, Armenian and Assyrian Christians, Baha’is, Sabaean-Mandaeans, and Zoroastrians.
