WAPO: U.S. withdraws from U.N. Human Rights Council over perceived bias against Israel
U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley had repeatedly urged changes to remove a disproportionate amount of criticism toward Israel and to boot human rights abusers.
As the ACLU says, “The Trump administration’s withdrawal from the UN Human Rights Council, coupled with its abusive use of power at home, only confirms what we’ve always known — Trump is leading a concerted, aggressive effort to violate basic human rights of those most in need of protection.”
