BEFORE BEING KICKED OUT, UNITED STATES LEAVES UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS COUNCIL

 Feeling Rebloggy

In a per-emptive strike, before being kicked out over child abuse of immigrant children, the] United States announced Tuesday it was leaving the United Nations' Human Rights Council, with Ambassador Nikki Haley calling it "an organization that is not worthy of its name." It was the latest withdrawal by the Trump administration from an international institution.

Haley, Trump's envoy to the U.N., said the U.S. had given the human rights body "opportunity after opportunity" to make changes. 

She lambasted the council for "its chronic bias against Israel" and lamented the fact that its membership includes accused human rights abusers such as China, Cuba, Venezuela and the Democratic Republic of Congo.

"We take this step because our commitment does not allow us to remain a part of a hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights," Haley said...

The announcement came just a day after the U.N. human rights chief, Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein, denounced the Trump administration for separating migrant children from their parents.

Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein denounced Trump's decision to break up families as a deterrent saying, 

• “In the United States, I am deeply concerned by recently adopted policies which punish children for their parents’ actions,” al-Hussein said. “The thought that any state would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable.” 

• Al-Hussein also cited American pediatrics experts in describing the U.S. policy as “government-sanctioned child abuse” which may cause “irreparable harm.”

The European Union says the Trump administration’s decision to pull the United States out of the U.N.-backed Human Rights Council “risks undermining the role of the U.S. as a champion and supporter of democracy on the world stage.”
