Usa Out Of The Human Rights Council

[Theland]

The USA has left the Human Rights Council. Great! About time!
A long overdue reaction to those abusers of human rights who clothe themselves in respectability by sitting on these august bodies and using their positions to hypocritically attack Israel at every opportunity.
Saudi Arabia sitting on a body to promote rights for women? What a crock!
God bless Trump for a long overdue dose of realism.

Shush, you’ll wake up the sleepers.

Is US adhering to human rights when they separated the immigrants children from the parents.

[CrapAtCryptics]

Have you ever considered they are seperating the children till the people are verified as their parents. You cant just assume that the children they turn up at the border are theirs. I dread to think how that would be abused if they were`nt checked.

[Old_Geezer]

It's a difficult situation. The definition of human rights needs to be brought back to a sane one. Israel does have things to answer, but they aren't the only country that has. As for councils, one supports them until one decides they are no longer fit for purpose. Withdrawal is a last resort though. Have to see how things pan out.

[Theland]

I support the withdrawal, and it is time the hypocrites like Saudi Arabia were called out on their own abuses.
As for the USA separating families, good idea, they can reunite by going back home.

I couldn't agree more...

The “Human Rights Council” represented by human rights abusers in the form of... Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan, Angola, China, Democratic Republic of the Congo, etc.

… makes the whole thing a sick joke.
