Is the United States planning an “imminent” withdrawal from the United Nations Human Rights Council?

According to an anonymous source that spoke with Reuters, it’s only a matter of time before the U.S. leaves the organization.

“Diplomatic sources said it was not a question of if, but when,” Reuters reports. If the U.S. did bail on the council, it would be the latest in a series of exits from international coalitions that America abandoned under President Trump. (See also: Paris Climate Agreement, Iran Nuclear Deal.)

But a different U.S. official in Geneva would not confirm those reports. “We are still moving ahead with our engagement for the coming session,” which is slated to last three weeks, through July 6.

The Human Rights Council has previously been boycotted by the United States once in its 12 year history, during the presidency of George W. Bush. The U.S. rejoined in 2009 after President Barack Obama assumed the office.
