Title: U.N. Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick Arrives In El Salvador
Date: 1983-02-09
Creator: Nickelsberg, Robert
Description: United Nations Ambassador Jeane Kirkpatrick arrives in El Salvador during a ten-day tour of Central America and is escorted by Salvadoran Foreign Minister Fidel Chavez Mena, left, and United States Ambassador to El Salvador Deane Hinton, right, for a series of meetings in San Salvador, El Salvador, February 9, 1983. After returning to Washington, she recommended an immediate increase in military aid for El Salvador and rejected any dialogue between the Salvadoran government and the guerrillas. Kirkpatrick, as one of the extreme "hardliners" in foreign policy in the Reagan administration, publicly supported right-wing authoritarian regimes who shared a firm anticommunist stance and advocated for increasing U.S. military support for these regimes in spite of mounting human rights violations against their civilian populations.
