The United Nations Human Right Council was created in 2006 to shed light on human rights abuses around the globe. It, unfortunately, has not served that purpose and has been hampered by geopolitical bias since its inception.

According to the Daily Wire:

According to Bloomberg, the Trump administration will announce today that the United States will withdraw from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) on Tuesday. Sources told Bloomberg that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley plan to announce the withdrawal at the State Department in Washington at 5 p.m.

The UNHRC was created in 2006; when current National Security Adviser John Bolton was U.N. Ambassador in 2006, he opposed the creation of the council. More recently, both Vice President Pence and U.N. Ambassador Nikki Haley have lambasted the council for its consistent targeting of Israel while ignoring human rights abuses around the world.

Haley has said, “For our part, the United States will not sit quietly while this body, supposedly dedicated to human rights, continues to damage the cause of human rights. In the end, no speech and no structural reforms will save the members of the Human Rights Council from themselves.”

…

As The Daily Wire has reported, “The Human Rights Council has no problem inviting a man cited as one of the most brutal men in the world address it, and a look at the new members inaugurated in 2017 into the Council shows a list of some of the most anti-human rights governments in existence.”

The UK has joined the United States in condemning the council. It seems to only serve a purpose of furthering anti-Israel bias.
