Although the Constitutionalist Party stands in defense of human liberty regardless of nationality, the CP does not in any way support the use of force by America in order to promote liberty outside of our borders. The choice of other countries to adopt our style of government is their decision to make, not ours, and any attempt by America to forcibly institute such a system upon another country in the name of human rights is hypocritical, since foreign nations have the right of sovereignty as well. The CP acknowledges the abuses of liberty practiced by America in other countries and will never justify them with excuses. The CP is resolute in its dedication towards respecting the rights of other nations to rule themselves, but will also speak out in condemnation of human rights abuses practiced by any country.

The Constitutionalist Party encourages continued trade relations with countries that violate human rights. The more that America trades with other nations, the more those nations realize the benefits of liberalizing their economy. This invariably starts a chain reaction in which the totalitarian hold that government has upon its people is weakened. The best way we can promote liberty in other countries is not by shutting them out, but by continued interaction. America should re-establish trade contact with countries like Cuba and North Korea in order to help improve the quality of liberty enjoyed by their citizens.
