New York, February 4, 2025 – Former US President Donald Trump has declared his intent to withdraw the United States from the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) if re-elected, accusing it of bias against nations like Israel and failing to address global human rights abuses. This aligns with his earlier actions, including withdrawing from the World Health Organization (WHO) during his presidency.
The announcement has sparked mixed reactions globally. Critics argue Trump’s stance undermines multilateral human rights efforts, while supporters advocate for UNHRC reforms to ensure impartiality and accountability. This move reflects Trump’s broader approach to redefining America’s role in international institutions.
