Biden to Rejoin U.N. Human Rights Body, Reversing Trump's Decision
[LI] President Joe Biden’s administration is excepted to join the United Nations Human Rights Council, a body governed by rogue regimes. It is notorious for denouncing the United States and its allies, particularly Israel.President Donald Trump withdrew the U.S. from the rights body in June 2018. The then-U.S. envoy to the UN, Nikki Haley, described the council as a "hypocritical" body which "makes a mockery of human rights." As Haley pointed out, the UNHRC’s "disproportionate focus and unending hostility toward Israel" served as a "clear proof that the council is motivated by political bias, not by human rights." The 47-member U.N. rights council, which comprises a rotating membership of Islamic Sharia-governed states, Socialist dictatorships, and other failing Third-World nations, is obsessed with the Jewish State. According to an estimate, about 25 percent of all condemnation resolutions passed by the body were against Israel. Similar anti-Israel resolutions were passed in 2020 as well. The Biden White House, stacked with former President Barack Obama staffers, now wants the U.S. to ’re-engage’ with this discredited and morally corrupt body.
