U.S. withdrawal from the U.N. "Human Rights" Council is the right decision

"The Trump administration's announcement Tuesday that the U.S. is leaving the notorious United Nations Human Rights Council has been characterized as an example of administration's deep-seated hostility to the international community. Nothing could be further from the truth...

The 12-year-old council is deeply flawed, inconsistent, heavily biased against Israel, and plagued by a membership list that includes some of the world's worst human rights violators and dictatorships. None of these facts are in dispute...

Those condemning the U.S. for leaving should instead target their ire at the governments that refused to support U.S. efforts to fix the U.N. Human Rights Council's manifest flaws that, like the U.N. Commission on Human Rights before it, cast an ugly shadow on the reputation of the United Nations."
