US expected to withdraw from UN Human Rights Council: report
Source: The Hill
The U.S. is reportedly planning to pull out of the United Nations Human Rights Council after clashes over key issues such as Israel.
A source told Reuters that the move could be “imminent.” The council will begin a three-week session in Geneva on Monday.
Other diplomatic sources told Reuters that the withdrawal was “not a question of if but of when.”
U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley has clashed with the council over its treatment of Israel and has repeatedly voted against U.N. measures that were critical of that country. Most recently, the U.S. and Australia were the only two members to vote against a proposal to investigate Israel’s alleged use of excessive force in Gaza.
Haley has criticized the council over what she called a “chronic anti-Israel bias” and threatened last year to leave.
