US to announce withdrawal from UN human rights council

Reuters reported the U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley will announce to withdraw from United Nations Human Rights Council today. That would be another isolationist move by the US in rejection of multilateral engagements.

The US had history of boycotting the council for three years under George W. Bush, then rejoined under Barrack Obama in 2009.

Haley has been calling for reform and elimination of a “chronic anti-Israel bias” but the progress is seen as dissatisfactory.
