US to Fully Skip UN Human Rights Council Review for First Time Since Council's Creation
The United States is set to become the first country to fully skip the UN Human Rights Council's regular review of its human rights record since the council's creation two decades ago. The Trump administration withdrew from the council last year, citing anti-US and anti-Israel bias, and has declined to participate in the universal periodic review process. Critics highlight concerns over US policies such as deportations and targeted killings, while the US State Department dismisses the council's credibility and refuses to engage. The review's postponement reflects the US absence.
