US expected to withdraw from UN Human Rights Council: report | TheHill

'The U.S. is reportedly planning to pull out of the United Nations Human Rights Council after clashes over key issues such as Israel. '

'Haley has also called for other reforms to the body, including making it easier to expel member states with poor human rights records, specifically Venezuela, China and Saudi Arabia. '

'A source told Reuters that the move could be “imminent.” The council will begin a three-week session in Geneva on Monday. '

'The U.S. rejoined the council under former President Obama after boycotting for three years under former President George W. Bush. '

'Haley has criticized the council over what she called a “chronic anti-Israel bias” and threatened last year to leave.“When the council passes more than 70 resolutions against Israel, a country with a strong human rights record, and just seven resolutions against Iran, a country with an abysmal human rights record, you know something is seriously wrong,” she wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post last June.
