In a move that should have come years ago, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whose boss, President Trump, harbors few illusions about the United Nations, warned that the U.S. might well withdraw from the U.N. Human Rights Council unless the Council executes “considerable reform.”
As Foreign Policy (FP) reports, Tillerson wrote a letter to nine non-profit organizations threatening that the Human Rights Council is on borrowed time in implementing changes. Those organizations, which include the Better World Campaign, Freedom House, the Committee For Human Rights in North Korea, and the Jacob Blaustein Institute for the Advancement of Human Rights, wrote to Tillerson on February 9 that they preferred for the U.S. to remain on the Council so the U.S. can forestall the consistent attacks on Israel.
