SCOTT JONES: In coordination with the release of

the 2010 Human Rights Reports,

00:00:04.096,00:00:07.062

we’re happy to announce the launch of

HumanRights.gov.

00:00:07.062,00:00:14.021

HumanRights.gov is the official U.S. government

website for human rights-related information.

00:00:14.021,00:00:18.017

We’re really excited to be launching with the

release of the 2010 Human Rights Reports,

00:00:18.017,00:00:20.025

which is produced here in the Department of

State.

00:00:20.025,00:00:24.067

We offer current press releases, statements,

reports, and interviews.

00:00:24.067,00:00:29.071

We would like to share international human

rights-related information with interested

parties.

00:00:29.071,00:00:34.088

So you can be an NGO, a reporter, a student —

really anyone with an interest in

00:00:34.088,00:00:38.054

what the U.S government is saying and doing in

the world of international human rights.

00:00:38.054,00:00:43.033

Right now, the site is integrated with Facebook,

Twitter, RSS and Google Reader,

00:00:43.033,00:00:46.088

and so you can really pass along, you know, the

2010 Human Rights Reports,

00:00:46.088,00:00:51.021

for example, to your friends, to your colleagues,

all with the click of a button.

00:00:51.021,00:00:57.096
