Abstract: The importance of domestic treatment of minorities for international relations is reflected in the statement of former Congressman Karl Mundt of South Dakota in urging passage of the Indian Claims Commissions Act: "[If any Indian tribe can prove it has been unfairly and dishonorably dealt with by the United States it is entitled to recover.This ought to be an example for all the world to follow in its treatment of minorities."92 CONG.REC.A4923 (1946).A more recent example is the enactment of the "Jackson Amendment," which conditions further United States trade with the Soviet Union on the adoption by the Soviet Government of a policy of free emigration for its Jewish citizens.3. See Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.
