“Ethical Markets applauds former Ambassador Maria Yovanovich’s courage and exemplary leadership. Watch her speech accepting Georgetown University’s Award here, Yovanovitch Says State Department is “In Trouble” and Leaders Lack “Moral Clarity”.
We urge all presidential candidates, whoever wins, to appoint her as the next US Ambassador to the United Nations! Her qualifications are unmatched and will be a signal that the USA is returning to the global community, human rights, the rule of law and its Constitution.
