THREAD/President #Biden is getting ready to deliver on a campaign promise — to hold a Summit for #Democracy. But rights groups are worried if the event will go beyond being a talk fest, fearing the inclusion of some countries w/problematic human rights track record casts a shadow
An invite list, first reported by Politico & confirmed by a source familiar, shows that the event will bring together mature democracies such as #France and #Sweden but also countries including #Philippines and #Poland, where activists say democracy is under threat.
Just think about this — Philippines’ Duterte, who in the past stated he does not "care about human rights" & #India’s Modi, who Freedom House said is driving India toward authoritarianism, will be among those virtually discussing with Biden how to help democracy flourish globally
