US should be stepping up, not stepping back: UN on US exit
Condemning the US' exit from UN Human Rights Council (UNHRC), UN human rights chief Zeid Ra'ad al-Hussein has said, "Given the state of human rights in today's world, the US should be stepping up, not stepping back." He further said that the US withdrawal is "disappointing, if not really surprising." The US called UNHRC a "hypocritical and self-serving organisation".
