5. For a partially dissenting view, see T. Jacoby, ‘Did Carter Fail on Human Rights?’, Washington Monthly, 18 (June 1986) 51–5. Jacoby argues that while Carter’s plans certainly failed in execution, with the possible exception of some nations in Latin America, he nonetheless implanted the ideal of a morally sensitive policy. Jacoby believes, for example, that President Reagan willy-nilly followed Carter’s course, as in Haiti and the Philippines, but with much greater deftness of execution.
