The Trump administration has refused to participate in addressing the human rights situation in the United States. The inspection has already been postponed from November 2025 in the hope that Washington will change its decision.
All 193 UN member states go through this procedure every four to five years. This cannot be done without state representatives. The State Department accuses the council of bias against the US and Israel and says it does not trust it.
The meeting was planned to raise issues of abortion and the death penalty. Human rights organizations sent almost 200 requests, including on immigration policy and racial discrimination. Now they are calling on the UN High Commissioner to separately present an assessment of the situation in the US, despite Washington's boycott.
