Freedom, truth and Morality in Politics and in International Relations
Freedom, truth and Morality in Politics and in International Relations

Summary/Abstract: the United States is a federal republic whose citizens enjoy a dynamic political system, a strong tradition of the rule of law, robust freedom of speech and religious belief, and a wide range of other civil liberties. the first Amendment to the U.S. constitution prevents the government from enacting laws that: govern the establishment of religion; prohibit the free exercise of religion; restrict freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of assembly. there is a growing tendency in global politics, academia and in diplomacy to accept the inclination of hegemon states to dominate all-important aspects of global power. freedom and moral standards are viewed as a political ballast because human beings by nature, and states in particular, have a boundless desire for unrestricted power and for the promotion of their own self-interest, regardless of international law, custom, culture or tradition.the twenty-first century crisis of freedom is at the root of the crisis of truth. in the conceptually contemporary world, John Paul ii’s voice clearly showed the inseparable link between freedom and truth. the Pope’s philosophy of freedom is contrary to the concept of freedom from values, so widespread in contemporary culture, especially in the USA.
