America's escape from scrutiny of its human rights record at the United Nations.
The United States will not participate in the United Nations meeting on Tuesday, November 10, 1405, which will review the country's record on human rights during the presidency of Donald Trump.
Last year, Washington withdrew from this Geneva-based UN body, citing Israel's access to the Human Rights Council; this is the second year in a row that the US has skipped a periodic review of its human rights performance.
According to the draft document by the UN and diplomats, the absence of the US means the event will be postponed to January.
America is the first country to completely refuse to review the UN Human Rights Council.
The Human Rights Council regularly reviews the legal records of all 193 UN member states, usually every 4 to 5 years, as part of a process known as the Universal Periodic Review.
