The Cato Institute Center for the Promotion of Human Rights is now
[1]The Atlas Global Initiative for Free Trade, Peace and Prosperity.
Its mission statement says the Initiative
seeks to increase the understanding of ideas and policies based on
the inalienable human rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of
happiness. It offers a human-rights-based alternative to coercive
ideologies worldwide by showing the justice and the practical
benefits of personal liberty and limitations on state power. The
Initiative creates, manages, and promotes products and programs in
a number of languages and encourages worldwide cooperation among
those who understand and value liberty.
As a result of this shift, [2]Tom Palmer has now moved from The Cato
Institute to the Atlas Foundation. Tom has been spreading libertarian
ideas by traveling throughout the world to help identify and support
local libertarians ("liberals" in Europe) since before the fall of the
USSR. I wish him and his new endeavor all the best. Here is a video
explaining the new organization.
