Pompeo on UNHRC: "Once noble vision turned into exercise of shameless hypocrisy"
Pompeo singled out these three countries as having abhorrent human rights records: China, Cuba and Venezuela.
The Trump administration announced Tuesday its departure from the United Nations Human Rights Council.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley blasted the UN Human Rights Council in a joint appearance at the US State Department.
Pompeo accused the UNHRC of hypocrisy, citing concerns about the body’s “anti-Israel bias.”
“The US is officially withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council,” Haley said, calling it a “hypocritical and self-serving organization that makes a mockery of human rights.”
Haley further said...
“American participation is the last shred of credibility the council has.”
“That is precisely why we must leave.”
Pompeo noted that the council has passed more resolutions against Israel than against the rest of the world combined.
“The Human Rights Council is a poor defender of human rights. Worse than that, it has become an exercise in shameless hypocrisy.”
