The United States is set Tuesday to become the first country to fully shun a regular review of its human rights record at the U.N.'s top rights body since it was created two decades ago.
The Trump administration last year pulled the U.S. out of the Human Rights Council, accusing it of an anti-U.S. and anti-Israel bias, and alleging that it didn’t uphold the very values it promotes.
Supporters back the council’s mandate to keep tabs on human rights in all U.N. member states including the U.S., which has drawn criticism for its policies including strong-arm deportations and targeted killings of alleged drug-runners in the Caribbean and Pacific — which the administration has said are designed to protect U.S. workers and help keep the country safe.
We’re ran by some really bad people. They don’t care how other people feel, or about trampling on the rights of others.
This isn’t a surprise, just another check mark in the they’re awful people box.
It’s hard to give guidance on human rights when you bomb a fucking school because you couldn’t be bothered to do some basic research.
