US Skips UN Human Rights Review, Allies Disappointed

On November seventh, the US skipped a UN human rights review, a move criticized by allies and advocates. The Trump administration, which has largely disengaged from the Human Rights Council, left its seat empty during the review. The council plans to reschedule the US review for next year. The ACLU warned that the US is setting a dangerous example, citing concerns like discrimination, attacks on free speech, and the deployment of the National Guard in American cities. The US previously withdrew from the Human Rights Council in 2018, but rejoined under the Biden administration. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
