The United States could quit the United Nations Human Rights Council (UNHRC) soon, activists and diplomats told the Reuters news agency on Thursday.
INN According to these sources, talks with the United States over how to reform the UNHRC have failed to meet Washington’s demands.
A U.S. source, speaking on condition of anonymity, told Reuters the withdrawal appeared to be “imminent” but did not provide further details. Diplomatic sources said it was not a question of if but of when the United States retreats from the Human Rights Council, which will hold a three-week session beginning on Monday and running through July 6th.
Last March, the council passed a series of anti-Israel resolutions, including a motion condemning Israel for its construction in Judea, Samaria, eastern Jerusalem and the Golan Heights and urging states and firms to avoid ties with “settlements”.
It later issued a report which offers to “advise and support” efforts to create a “blacklist” database of companies operating in Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights, and eastern Jerusalem, so that the international community could boycott them.
The U.S. boycotted the UNHRC for three years under President George W. Bush before rejoining under Barack Obama in 2009.
Human rights eh? Those who claim to support human rights tend to be the biggest tyrants these days. I mean having Saudi Arabia as leader of the UN human rights council means no one in their right mind should take them seriously.
It’s time ! It’s past time ! Oh LORD, it’s time !
The United States, when managed by apologizing democRATS, has paid for the lion’s share of the bills for this useless institution for too long ! It’s time to STOP !
All the UN is now is a “vacation spot” for the Princes, and in-law relatives of islamic and dictatorial (?) nations (?), who enjoy partying here.
Care should be taken to corral all the funds and property of all UN members as the useless bunch of whiners are thrown out of our country ! It should be held until all the fines, tickets, and other charges by any U.S. City, State, or any legislative area are paid by the “Diplomatically Immune” lawbreakers.
The UN Security Council, as well as the UN Council on Human Rights are one of the dirtiest jokes ever told. It’s time we stopped even pretending to believe the phony names and stated, lying purpose of these groups !
THROW THEM OUT. GET US OUT. GET THEM GONE !
Excelient. long overdue. And kick the un out of the USA. let them relocate in some shithole muslim country
“Human Rights”? Bahaha! More like a Muslum claptrap! All complaints about Israel- who Muslums hate/are jealous of. Only 1 complaint on Islamic State? None on Bokoharem? What a joke, just pull the hell out. Now! No more talking!
Just get the hell out of the UN TOTALLY!

SL, I haven’t seen any Muslim connection.
UPDATE: NOW I HAVE. CHECK MAIN PAGE.
In that excellent video, which you included in your update, no one could doubt it was intentional; so fortunate there were no deaths.
ALL Israel Belongs to Jews. All of our Magnificent, Awesome Creator’s Biblical promises to Israel and Jews, His People, will be fulfilled!
No Power on Earth will Ever be able to Extinguish the Light of Reborn Israel. Israel’s Light will Shine Forever!
Rabid, ANTI-GOD Jew-haters — Western leaders, politicians and the Ministry of Propaganda-mainstream media, LIE and DECEIVE for Cruel WARLORD Mohammed’s BARBARIC MILITARY CULT of ISLAM
They follow the instructions of Savage Mass Murderer of Jews, Warlord Mohammed, who declared: WAR is DECEPTION
Arabs first started calling themselves “Palestinians” in 1967. Global terrorist, Egyptian Arafat was the first leader of this new people.
Partner with Arafat for over 40 years; immorally respected by the US/EU-Holocaust denier, TERRORIST Abbas, financed the massacre of Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympic Games.
Before 1948, Jews were known as the Palestinians.
The Jewish newspaper, the Jerusalem Post was called the Palestine Post. The Jewish-founded electric company was Palestine Electric.
The Palestinian Symphony Orchestra was all Jewish. During World War II, the British army had a Palestinian Brigade made up entirely of Jewish volunteers.
After Jews migrated to Palestine in significant numbers in the late 1800s and miraculously transformed desert and swamps into rich, agricultural land, Arabs came in large numbers from Arab countries for jobs from the Jews.
The fact that the overwhelming majority of Arabs resided only briefly in Palestine is attested to by a one-time special UN decree:
That any Arab who had resided in Palestine for only two years before 1948, and then left, would be considered a refugee and so would his descendants!
Throughout history, people were never regarded as refugees if they had resided in a country for only two years because they were clearly citizens of other countries!
Not one more dollar, pound, euro or shekel to the Muslim-controlled, Jew-hater, Christian-hater SATANIC UN.
Throughout history Muslims always sought to either DESECRATE and DESTROY the Top HOLIEST places of Christians and Jews or DESECRATE and Declare that the Sacred Jewish/Christian Place is ISLAMIC and Build a Victory Mosque on that site.
The Muslim claim that the Temple Mount is their Third Holy Place is a LIE. In all of history, Jerusalem and the Temple Mount was Never a Holy Place for Muslims:
13th Century Arab biographer Yakut noted: “Mecca is holy to Muslims; Jerusalem is holy to the Jews.”
The conquest of Jerusalem and all Israel is a major goal of global jihad. The PLO’s Palestinian National Covenant of 1964, does not mention Jerusalem even once.
Jerusalem is mentioned hundreds of times in the Bible. Not once in the Quran. At the time of Mohammad’s death, there was not a single mosque in Jerusalem.
From 1948-1967, when Jordan invaded and illegally occupied Judea, Samaria and Jerusalem, Jordanian radio broadcast Friday prayers not from Al-Aqsa Mosque, but from a mosque in Amman, Jordan.
No foreign Arab leader visited Jerusalem during the nineteen years Jordan illegally occupied and controlled Jerusalem.
Muslim children are inculcated with MURDEROUS HATE for Jews and other non-Muslims along with their mother’s milk.
Muslim children eagerly accept barbarism and savagery of non-Muslim innocents making it too dangerous to allow any Muslim children into our nations.
Palestinian Children Taught to Hate Jews
Racism.
Excellent! And long overdue.
Abolish the corrupt and mus sulm controlled un. Save the tax payers money and abolish the un. All support for Israel , Nikki and our president Trump. Dump the un.
The United Nations and the United Nations Humans Rights Council are heavily influenced by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation. The result is a coalition of countries that follow the teaching of Islam and as a result are highly anti semitic and hate Israel in accordance with the teaching of Islam from the Koran. The United States should definitely quit the United Nations Humans Rights Council, since this council seems to only exist to condemn Israel and almost no other nation. Also the United States should pull out of the United Nations. The United States should not be part of an organization of that is heavily influenced by the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and trying to promote Sharia Law around this world.
fabulous!!! thank you USA!!!!
There’s no great loss without some small gain: It would be great if the US leaves the UN; it’s too bad that UN attacks on Israel are a main reason.
What would UN headquarters in NYC become? Maybe the monstrosity should be torn down. It would improve the waterfront.
Best news I’ve heard all day!
Kick the UN out of the USA……defund the UN…….convert NYC UN Bldg. into homeless veteran housing.
Getting out of UN? Good move. Keep your money for your own people not a load of ingrates who don’t know how to behave in a civilised country.
I don’t know if it’s better to withdraw or to stay and fight. We need to know what they are doing, so if we withdraw we need a trusted ally that can inform us of what the
committee does.
We need to stop funding the UN, period. Then kick it out of NYC and let it relocate to Saudi Arabia, since the
Muslim bloc is the largest and most influencial bloc of countries there. We got rid of the League of Nations, time to get rid of the UN and create an organization without any Muslim countries in it.
Can’t happen soon enough! All this talk about it, but still it hasn’t happened.
Due to UNHRC being primarily an islamist rights council – the US should withdraw as soon as possible. With Nikki Haley failing to understand that the Rohingya are stateless gypsies like the paleSStinians she is unqualified to be a vice president or to run for President.
All the damnable un is anymore is a branch of the o i c, why are we still in and supporting ANY of the stupid thing?
Why are these a-holes in the USA,something wrong with this picture?????????
