United States to Fully Skip UN Human Rights Council Review for First Time
The United States is set to become the first country to fully skip the UN Human Rights Council's universal periodic review since the body's creation 20 years ago. The Trump administration withdrew from the council last year, citing alleged anti-US and anti-Israel bias and criticizing its failure to uphold human rights values. The US had already missed its previous review and declined to participate in the rescheduled November 2025 session. The council requires national participation for the review to proceed.
