UN Human Rights Council Must Reform Before US Resumes Participation - Trump

The United States will continue not to participate in the work of the UN Human Rights Commission unless the body enacts a reform agenda submitted by US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, US President Donald Trump said in a speech on Tuesday.

WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 25th September, 2018) The United States will continue not to participate in the work of the UN Human Rights Commission unless the body enacts a reform agenda submitted by US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley, US President Donald Trump said in a speech on Tuesday.

"Our ambassador to the United Nations, Nikki Haley, laid out a clear agenda for reform," Trump told the UN General Assembly. "But despite reported and repeated warnings, no action at all was taken. So the United States took the only responsible course, we withdrew from the Human Rights Council and we will not return until real reform is enacted."
