US leaving UN Human Rights Council -- 'a cesspool of political bias'
US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley announced the United States is withdrawing from the UN Human Rights Council Tuesday, accusing the body of bias against US ally Israel and a failure to hold human rights abusers accountable. The move, which the Trump administration has threatened for months, came down one day after the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights slammed the separation of children from their parents at the US-Mexico border as "unconscionable."
Speaking from the State Department, where she was joined by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, Haley defended the move to withdraw from the council, saying US calls for reform were not heeded. "Human rights abusers continue to serve on, and be elected to, the council," said Haley, listing US grievances with the body. "The world's most inhumane regimes continue to escape its scrutiny, and the council continues politicizing scapegoating of countries with positive human rights records in an attempt to distract from the abusers in its ranks."

Thank you for saying this! There's more to it as well. Look up Unaoil, which was a company operating out of Monaco whose whole reason for existence was to subvert democratically elected governments through bribery, murder, and everything else if that democratically elected govt did something the megacorps who wanted to exploit their natural resources didn't like.
The megacorps, the bankers, they've been destabilizing the rest of the world and creating these refugees in the first place. They exemplify evil and must be brought to justice. They are the existential threat to humanity.
Washington DC delenda est.
